Characters

Characters in bold appear for the first time in the series.

Magical Notes

Book of Shadows

Alchemist's Tools

Essence Bearer

An Alchemist would use a bottle such as this

to capture and/or store a Life essence. A

Life Essence is comparable to a human soul, but

made in a mixing lab. A well made Life Essence

can possess any living being but would prove toxic

and eventually lethal to the being's pre-existing Soul

Crimson Scalpel

This ceremonial instrument is used by an Alchemist to open

an incision in a body. The Demon then performs an

incantation on the blood and lets it drip into the

Essence Bearer, where it is mixed with

other ingredients and

transformed into a

Life Essence.

Blazing Alembic

This apparatus transforms matter into energy.

The Alchemist deposits matter in this device

and heats it over a ritualistic flame.

After the Alchemist invokes Dark

Spirits, the matter distills into energy

which can be manipulated for evil purposes.

Mutator

This contraption transforms one type

of matter into another. An Alchemist

places the initial substance inside the

first cylinder. Then, as the Alchemist

chants, the substance magically

materializes in the second cylinder

in an entirely different form.

Kierkan

is the most powerful Alchemist known

to exist and he has often used his

expertise to disrupt the natural order

for his own destructive missions.

Even though many Witches are

capable of defeating Alchemist

demons, only the Power of Three

has the might to eliminate Kierkan.

When seeking to Vanquish an Alchemist

Demon use the following Spell:

Let Flesh be Flesh, and Bone be Bone

the Alchemist shall transform none.

Cruel Scientist of Evil Born

with these words face the Fire's Scorn.

Alchemists

Using metaphysical tools and

Dark Magic, Alchemists can

transform any substance into

another.

For example, an Alchemist's

evil Powers can turn Water

into Gold and Energy into

Matter.

Similarly, these demons also

have the innate ability to

transform the Dead into the

Living by calling the Souls

back into corpses.

Phoebe and Prue create and cast a Dispossessing Spell on Piper. (failed)

Leo: Come on Piper, isn't this supposed to be a fun thing, you know, going back and seeing all your old friends?

Piper: You weren't by any chance popular in high school were you?

Leo: Well I was... I mean... is there a right answer to this question?

Prue: Did you put a lot of hairspray on that hair?

Piper: No.

Piper: I was nobody in high school.

Piper: Prue, you were class president. You have no idea what it's like on the other side.

Prue: Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

Terra (as Piper): Hey! Bitch! Move the trays yourself!

(Missy gives a somewhat humbled look and walks away, Prue gives an astonished space)
