Book of Shadows[]

  1. To Erase a Memory is before the page on Troxa.
  2. Belthazor is before the Hand of Fatima.

Troxa[]

This Invisible Demon has the ability to
attack unsuspecting victims and escape without
detection. Although his power prevents the naked
eye from seeing him, his being is still corporeal;
therefore, he cannot pass through objects or walls.
Troxa's one Weakness is that
his ectoplasmic biochemistry is sensitive to
cold. When he encounters cold temperatures
he may become partially visible.
This vulnerability can be used to defeat him.

Belthazor[]

Beware of this Demonic
Soldier of Fortune. Both powerful and
dangerous, he has destroyed countless
witches, innocents, and demons.
As sinister as he
is intelligent, he is not to be trusted,
Belthazor's known abilities include
throwing energy balls and shimmering
from place to place, but his powers are
probably not limited to these capabilities.
Because there is no known way to defeat him,
Belthazor should be avoided at all costs.

Spells[]

  • Prue casts a spell using siderite crystals around the Book of Shadows, forming a Crystal Cage. (unseen)

Powers[]

  • Telekinesis: Used by Prue to throw Abbey out of the Manor window. She later used it to smack away a pillow Troxa held to her face and to swat Troxa.

She flung Abbey again, onto a kitchen wall cabinet, knocking her out.
  • Orbing: Type of teleportation used by Leo.
  • Shimmering: Type of teleportation used by Cole.
  • Summoning: Used by the Triad to summon Cole to their lair.
