The Warlock Curse was created by Melinda Warren to trap the warlock, Matthew Tate into her locket as punishment for exposing her secret during the Witch Trials. The entry for the curse was written in the Book of Shadows.
History[]
Melinda Warren first used this curse in 1692 to trap Matthew Tate inside her locket and strip the powers he copied from her shortly before she was burned at the stake during the Witch Trials of Salem.
In early 1999, Matthew Tate was accidentally freed from the locket by Prue Halliwell. In order to defeat him, the Charmed Ones then summoned their ancestor Melinda Warren to the present and helped her curse Matthew into the locket once again. Because she had trouble remembering the ingredients she used for the curse, they had to find the entry in the Book of Shadows. While Piper and Phoebe went to collect the rest of the ingredients at Quake, Prue went to steal the feather of a spotted owl.[1]
