Magic
From Charmed
Magic is the influencing of events by supernatural means. Magic can often be split into good and evil, though depending on the situation it can also be neutral. There are numerous magical beings which exist beyond the knowledge of most humans--such as witches, demons, and whitelighters. Witches and Warlocks are the only ones who can actually control magic, because they are the only ones who can create potions, which require a witch to empower the ingredients and then brew with magic.
[edit] The Three Essentials of Magic
The morning after the sisters discovered the Book of Shadows, Phoebe mentioned that the she read, in the book, something about there being three essentials of magic:
- Timing
- Feeling
- The phases of the moon
That means at midnight on a full moon is the most powerful time for witches, especially to perform great works of magic (for example, invoking and receiving their powers). It is the best time to perform great works of magic. Witches who gather together with their powers united, are at their strongest.
