To Increase Patience is a ritual written in Warren Book of Shadows. It consists of an incantation and a potion that needs to be prepared and is meant to increase patience in a person.
History[]
While looking at the page in the Book of Shadows, Piper Halliwell joked that her grandmother, Penny, probably wrote the spell. Phoebe then added that she must have used it a lot while she was raising them. However, Prue remarked that not all of them were troublemakers.[1]
