The Charmed Ones (Second Generation)

**Magical Items:** | Book of ShadowsFamily Spirit BoardHalliwell Manor

**The Charmed Ones** are a set of three siblings of witches. They are known as the most powerful witches ever to walk the Earth and are dedicated to protecting innocents and ridding the world of evil. Stronger and more powerful than the first generation of Charmed Ones. Along with being witches all three Twice-Blessed and half Whitelighter.

## Powers and Abilities

As magical witches, the Charmed Ones have the four basic powers of spell casting, potion making, scrying, and mediumship. Each Charmed One is particularly skilled at one of these powers. For example, Melinda is the best at making potions due to her passion for cooking like her mother, and Wyatt is the best spell-writer due to his creativity and dedication to his heritage. Though Chris' basic Wiccan skills are good, his specialty was more at thinking and devising plans and helping innocents, respectively.

Because powers are linked to one's emotions, when one of the siblings become emotionally distressed, their powers will be affected. If all three siblingsare distressed at the same time, their combined magic (The Power of Three) will be weakened. Since the Book of Shadows is also linked to the sisters' bond, when their combined magic is weakened, so is the power of their book. This makes the book vulnerable to evil.

Their powers come from the three essentials of magic:

* **Timing:** Melinda's ability to freeze time through Molecular Immobilization.
* **Feeling:** Wyatt's ability to sense future events through his premonitions.
* **Phases of the Moon:** Chris' abilities of Telekinesis and telekinetic orbing respectively, reflecting the movement of the moon, similar to how he moves objects with his minds.

### **The Power of Three**

Although each sibling are powerful witches, the combined magic of the Charmed Ones, known as the *"Power of Three"*, is where their true strength lies.

When all three are gathered, their powers are united as one. Said to be the most powerful form of magic, the Power of Three is rooted in the Charmed Ones' bond as siblings. It is their love for each other that makes the bond and the magic of each sibling stronger. The Power of Three also has its own spell, called the Power of Three Spell.

### **Individual Powers**

Aside from their basic abilities, each Charmed One possesses separate active powers which are destined to grow and advance over the years. These powers are linked to each other, which is how their advancements are 'selected'. Each Charmed One possesses one of Melinda Warren's powers; Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization and Premonition.

## The Charmed Ones' bond with the Book

Connected to the Charmed Ones is the Book of Shadows. This magical artifact is believed to be the "source" of their magic. The strength and power of the Book depends on the strength of the Charmed Ones' bond as siblings as well as each sister's individual emotional state. If they are not 'connected' with each other, the Book's defenses lower. On the other hand, the stronger the connection, the more powerful the Book of Shadows' magic becomes.

The Triquetra on the cover of the Charmed Ones' Book of Shadows, resembles their bond; The Power of Three. It is known as the family's symbol.

Whenever the siblings are in turmoil and use their powers on each other in an offensive way, the triquetra will split, resembling the broken bond. The leaves of the triquetra disconnect and the circle will vanish. As a result, the book will lose its powers, as will the siblings. The only way to restore everything is for the siblings to bond with each other again and solve their problems
