Kurzon[]

The Source who was banished from the underworld for
inciting a failed coup. Although exiled, Kurzon still
seeks to destroy The Source and
take over the underworld.
He is too dangerous
to be trusted.

Spells[]

To Hear Your Heart's Desire[]

  • With a pen write your question on a blue piece of paper, crumple it up and light it on fire with a white candle. Recite the spell and drop it into the cauldron.
My love is strong,
My spirit weak,
It is an answer that I seek.
A question burns within this fire,
So I may hear my heart's desire.

To Vanquish Kurzon[]

Hell threw you from its inner core,
But Earth won't hold you anymore.
Since Heaven cannot be your place,
Your flesh and blood we now erase.

Continuity Errors[]

  • In the Book of Shadows, the Belthazor pages are in a very different order. In "Look Who's Barking", the entry for "Cole's Human Side" is on the right and the info on Belthazor is on the left. Then there is a set of pages about Banshees and then a page to summon Belthazor.

Quotes[]

Cole: Who are you?
Old Phoebe: Maybe this will refresh your memory. (she walks over and slaps him across the face) You bastard.

Older Phoebe: (holds up a sexy top to her body) Ah the good old days! Of course nobody's going to take you serious until you stop dressing like a tramp.

Leo: (about to orb Little Phoebe to somewhere safe) Come on, take my hand. (She walks over to him) Now hold on tight.
Little Phoebe: Are we going on a plane?
Leo: No, but you might see some clouds.

Phoebe: Well, I'm gonna go try knock some sense into myself.

Paige: What about Little Phoebe? She went back to her time with all this knowledge of the future. Won't that cause complications?
Piper: I doubt it. The minute she starts talking about magic, Grams will do some hocus pocus to erase all that knowledge.
Paige: That's nice.
Piper: That's Grams.

Paige: I did the rhyme, I will do the time.
