- Piper: "You'll never greet your husband at the door with: "Honey, I think I froze the kids"."
- Prue: "No, I've just accidentally moved them to another zip code."
- Phoebe: "But I will see them, find them, and bring them back safely. If I can ever learn to control my powers."
- — The sisters talking about their Warren Powers[src]
The term "Warren Powers" describes the three traditional Warren powers and the advancements that may grow out of the original powers. The Warren line began with Melinda Warren who possessed the three active powers of the Charmed Ones (telekinesis, molecular immobilization, and premonition).
Paige Matthews was born without Wiccan powers due to the prophecy of the Charmed Ones only stating three sisters would inherit the three essential powers. After Prue died, Paige was supposed to inherit the gift of telekinesis, but because of her Whitelighter side, it manifested as telekinetic orbing instead. Telekinesis combined with her Whitelighter side to produce a power no one had ever seen before. Had she not inherited the power of telekinesis, telekinetic orbing could not have manifested either. It is also very likely that if Piper or Phoebe had been the one who died instead of Prue, she would have inherited one of their powers instead.
Prue once explained that because the Charmed Ones each inherited one of Melinda's three powers, she could not interact with Paige without causing major consequences since they both share the same power. Which happened when Paige was led to Salem where she came into physical contact with Prue, and only found balance again when the latter willingly stripped her powers.
