Phoebe Halliwell's General Reversal Spell
When Paige Matthews discovered the Book of Shadows, she became fascinated with all of the spells inside. She began casting spell after spell, and with the issue of personal gain, some of them backfired; one being the Instant Karma Spell. To reverse this magic spell, Phoebe wrote it on paper and burnt it as she created this spell:
- Guided spirits,
- hear our plea,
- Annul this magic,
- Let it be.
Powers
- Audible Inundation: Used by the Furies to force evil doers to hear the cries of their former victims.
- Energy Balls: Used by Cole to vanquish the Furies and to hinder Piper from attacking an innocent.
- Healing: Used by Leo to heal Donnie.
- Levitation: Used by Phoebe to fight the Furies.
- Molecular Combustion: Used by Piper on the Kevmay, the warehouse door, the Furies (it blew up a car behind them as they were immune to it) and Leo.
- Reconstitution: Used by Leo to reconstitute.
- Molecular Immobilization: Used by Piper during a failed assault on the Furies.
- Orbing: Used by Paige and Leo to teleport.
- Pyrokinesis: Used by the Kevmay against Piper.
- Shimmering: Used by Cole to teleport.
- Smoke Secretion: Used by the Furies to infect Piper and kill innocents.
- Smoking: Used by the Furies (and Piper when she became one) to teleport.
- Super Strength: Used by the Furies during all of their battles.
- Telekinetic Orbing: Used by Paige on a knife, on a lamp, and the Book of Shadows.
Terms
Paige is "busted" after using her powers for personal gain
- Exposure - Anything that could possibly prove the existence of magic to the mortal world is called "exposure". Paige nearly exposed herself as a witch after casting the Instant Karma Spell on Donnie.
- Personal Gain - Personal gain is considered to be a serious breach of the Wiccan Rede. It is a term that describes a witch using her powers for personal desires, rather than using them to protect the innocent. Paige Matthews broke this rule, and as a result, received enlarged breasts.
- Karma - The simple universal law of cause and effect that says every thought, word, and act carries energy into the world and affects one's present reality. Neither judge or jury, it can also refer to the work we have ahead of us, which includes lessons from both one's past and present lives. Paige Matthews cast the instant karma spell on Donnie, and as a result, all of the sexual abuse he had done in the office came back to bite him in the butt, literally.
Artifacts
Paige orbs an Athame.
- Athame - A double edged ceremonial knife that Witches often use to direct energies in their daily practices and rituals. Paige Matthews orbed an athame to her side after it was decided that Cole's blood would be used to Summon the Furies.
- Scrying Crystal - A magical pendant used for scrying. Piper scryed for random evil in San Francisco. Phoebe and Paige later used the scrying crystal to locate Piper, but were unable to do so because Piper was no longer a witch.
Beings
Magical Beings
- Furies - demonic women that act as judge, jury, and executioner to anyone they consider a wrongdoer. They are vigilantes who pursue a shoplifter as vigorously as they would a murderer. They also take great pleasure in the kill. When the Furies focus their thoughts on an evildoer, they force them to hear the cries of all their former victims. They kill by breathing poisonous smoke, though in some cases the cries of an evildoers' victims are enough to kill them. They also turn others into furies by opening a portal of unexpressed fury in their victims.
- The Kevmay - race of solitary low-level demons who possess the power to incinerate human flesh with their eyes. They are easily recognisible due to their glowing eyes and their stature, and generally work randomly and alone.
- Demonic Bounty Hunters - demons that search and capture other demons or magical beings in order gain the bounty attached to the target. A typical power of Bounty Hunters is the power to throw Energy Balls and/or lightning bolts. Glistening is their common mode of teleportation. The bounty is usually given out by The Source and is set on fugitive demons and converted magical beings.
Mortals
- Lila - a good friend of Paige and Billy, who works at South Bay Social Services. Her credit report is far worse than Paige's and is rumored to be dating Billy.
- Billy - works at South Bay Social Services. He carries around the mail and helps people with taking copies. He is constantly teased by Donnie, calling him "pizza-face", due to the acne on his face.
- Donnie - also works at South Bay Social Services. He is hated by most employees and is constantly harassing Paige Matthews.
Notes and Trivia
- This is the first episode to feature the new version of the Opening Credits. Alyssa Milano is billed first, followed by Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs. Holly is credited "and Holly Marie Combs as Piper" (by her request) so that she is recognized as being as important a cast member as Alyssa Milano though being billed third.
- As well as the sisters getting new title clips Brian, Julian and Dorian all get new title clips; making this the first time that every actor in the main cast is given a new title clip. This would only occur once more in the series; at the start of Season 7.
- Also in the new opening credits, power clips are no longer used before the cast member's name clip, instead appearing in succession after each cast member is credited.
- Along with Power Outage and The Importance of Being Phoebe, Phoebe uses her levitation power three times, the most in any one episode.
- Paige learns of the rule prohibiting the use of magic for personal gain.
- It is initially thought that Furies are theoretically on the side of good, but operate with virtually no restraint. However, in Bite Me, a Fury appeared at the meeting Cole held to unite the various demon and warlock factions so they should be considered neutral.
- This is the third episode in which Piper becomes evil.
- Rose mentioned on an interview that one of the balloons that was making Paige's breasts enlarged in this episode burst while filming.
- This episode scored 5.0 million viewers.
- In Oh, Henry, Piper says that they'll have to distract that big scary demon, which is identical to this episode, where she referred to the Kevmay in the same way.
- At the end of this episode, Piper finally acknowledges Paige as her sister, in the same right as Prue and Phoebe.
- The trailer mentions nothing about the Furies nor Piper's recklessness.
- The Vanishing Spell is used for the first time in this episode. Paige uses it to clear up the skin of a friend.
- This is the first time Piper is shown blowing up Leo. She will do this again several times.
References to other movies, books, mythology, etc.
- Paige's enlarged breasts are an obvious reference to Rose McGowan's role as Tatum Riley on Wes Craven's film Scream where Rose's character was killed due to her not being able to fit through a garage cat flap because of the size of her breasts. This resulted in the killer activating the switch that ultimately killed Tatum.
- Another refrence to Tatum Riley from Wes Craven's film Scream was the car Paige drove. In Scream, Tatum drove a Red Volkswagen Beetle, Paige's Car is a Green Volkswagen Beetle.
Glitches
- Paige says she substitutes the word "demon" with "dirt-bag" when casting the 'Instant Karma Spell'. However, as shown in the Book of Shadows, the word "demon" isn't part of the incantation, "villain" is.
- As shown in the Book of Shadows, 'Villain' is spelled wrong. It is shown as 'Villian' [the shaggy haired(?)]
- While talking to Paige as she was "busted", Phoebe's hair is wavy, however later in the car, it's straight.
- When Piper turns into a Fury she is still in her same clothes and she changes them later. However, when she changes back, her clothes are back to how they were at the start of the episode.
- When Piper blasted the warehouse door, it was obviously a dummy being blown away, instead of Cole.
- When Piper and the other Furies arrive at the Manor, Phoebe attacks two of them, but it's obviously Alyssa's stunt double.
- When Piper attacks Paige, Paige orbs out and orbs back into a different place. However, in future episodes, she is unable to orb from one place to another (until The Three Faces of Phoebe).
