Magical Notes
Potions
Body Swapping Potion
This potion required many ingredients, including powdered toadstool, but most of them were not mentioned in the episode. Paige accidentally made it, causing her and Phoebe to switch bodies.
- Say these words
- I want to be (name of person you want to be).
- To undo the effects of the potion, all you have to say:
- I want to be me again.

Beings
Magical Beings
- Yen Lo - Yen Lo was a mortal who was to become the leader of his mentor's monastery; however, the Zen Master chose his daughter, An Ling, over him because Yen Lo used his abilities selfishly (according to Zen Master or for evil according to An Ling). When Yen Lo was wounded by An Ling, he fled to Limbo, the world between dimensions where the metaphysical form of life stands still. Yen Lo was defeated by Phoebe and Paige's combined efforts, and his soul was sent in for reincarnation by the Zen Master.
- An Ling - A Zen Master. She called for the help of the Charmed Ones to save her father, who had been kidnapped by Yen Lo.
- The Zen Master - He was taken to Limbo by Yen Lo.
Mortals
- Mason Cowan - The son of Paige's boss. Paige and Mason had a date, but he actually dated Phoebe, who was in Paige's body. Mason never wanted to date with Paige again, because he felt like she wasn't comfortable in her own skin. Paige took great amusement in this.

Quotes
- Piper: Okay. After mixing your potions, what's the best method to preserve unused sea slugs for future use? A) Pickle them, B) Sugar them, C) Smoke them, D) Freeze dry them.
- Paige: Well now, you see, if I had extra sea slugs, I'd let those little suckers go right on back into the ocean.
- Piper: Paige, don't make me the wicked witch of the northwest. I didn't ask for this big sister gig and frankly, it sucks. But since I'm on a roll, you should get rid of that lollipop habit because it's going to rot your teeth.
- Paige: Next up, some powered toadstool. Bam! Let's kick it up one more notch.
- Leo: Whoa, what are you doing?
- Paige: You know, just preparing for the Source.
- Leo: Oh, is he coming over for dinner?
- Mason: He said that if he doesn't hurry up and make you a social worker, you'll probably quit and start your own agency. That or end up in jail. He wasn't sure which.
- Cole: Well, for one thing you suck at levitating.
- Piper: I smell something witchy.
- Yen Lo: Oh, it's you... black belt Barbie.
- Phoebe: You're going to be sorry you said that. (She levitates and kicks Yen-Lo up to a rocky mountain. He drops his sword.)
- Cole: Wait a minute. Who are you? (Phoebe kisses him.) Oh, I know... Paige.
- Phoebe: Uh! (She laughs a little.) So what's on our training schedule for today? Light sabers?
- Cole: Actually, I was thinking maybe we could have a private picnic of our own.
