| Magical Beings |

| Clyde This malevolent spirit is the only spirit that helps the living visit their past. He merely opens the door to the past � he does not guarantee that the trip will be a pleasant one. Clyde ignores summoning spells, so the only way to summon him is to make him angry by calling him names. |

| Captain Black Jack Cutting This eighteenth-century pirate tricked a witch into falling in love with him so that she could give him immortality.

In their realm, the fairies have dominion over the trolls, which the trolls greatly dislike. Fairies have a magical dust with which they can do many things, including turning people into fairies. Trolls have the ability to move very quickly. |
| Fairy Tales Even though fairy tales are considered to be merely fictional fables intended to instruct small children, most fairy tales are recountings of ancient battles between good and evil that have been woven into allegorical stories. All modern copies of fairy tales are copies of an original, kept safe from evil by the Keeper of the Fairy Tales who was entrusted with the text centuries ago. The book as well as relics from which all power of fairy tales emanate are hidden in a remote magical fortress, whose location is kept secret from everyone, including the Elders. *The Evil Witch This fairy tale creature, imprisoned in a mirror, can be quite dangerous if she escapes her confinement. Driven by pride, she will seek to eliminate all witches deemed more powerful than she. *The Seven Dwarves These fairy tale creatures, and their descendents, have the ability to preserve the dead. *The Wolf Another fairy tale creature, the wolf attacks humans and devours them, but it also has the ability to take on human form, which it does in order to gain people's trust. |
| The Firestarter An extremely rare and coveted magical creature, usually a mortal, the power is linked to their emotions. It first manifests in adolescence with the onset of puberty.

| Gideon One of the most powerful Elders, Gideon was entrusted with the position as headmaster of Magic School, an institution where young magical beings can learn about magic. While he originally pushed for the Elders to allow Piper and Leo to get married, once Wyatt was born, Gideon's attitude toward the couple changed drastically. He feared that all of the power that Wyatt possessed would cause him to turn and become an unstoppable threat. Gaining the sisters' confidence, Gideon used his position as a friend of the family to get close to Wyatt but first hired a team of darklighters to get Leo out of the way. He conspired with his evil counterpart in a parallel dimension to distract both the good and evil Charmed Ones so that he might kill Wyatt. The sisters realized his plan in time and stopped him, but only temporarily. Conspiring with Barbas who used his powers to distract the sisters and Leo, Gideon managed to kidnap Wyatt, killing Chris in the process. Angered by his son's death, Leo tracked Gideon in the Underworld and killed him. |
| Ghosts Ghosts are spirits of the dead who manage to cling in our world because of unfinished business from their life, usually avenging their unjust death. Neophyte ghosts are unable to grasp the physical plane, but in time ghosts can learn to move objects and even become corporeal. Some ghosts even have the ability to possess the living in order to complete the unfinished business from their lifetime. |
| Genies Genies are Magical Beings that have the power to grant humans what they desire. Contained in bottles, genies are released after someone rubs the bottle and then will grant the person who rubbed the bottle three wishes. After granting three wishes, the genie becomes free from his bottle and loses his powers. Beware, genies are tricksters and they will do anything to be freed. While genies are not evil by nature and cannot harm someone unless he wishes for something, the wishes genies grant always come with some unforseen consequence. The only way to get rid of a genie without wishing is to put the genie back into his bottle. Doing this will reverse all of the wishes he granted. |

The Hollow Thirty-five hundred years ago the Hollow was unleashed on the world. The Hollow is a force that has the power to consume all magical powers, good or evil, and is impossible to destroy. While roaming the earth, the Hollow nearly decimated all magic and all things. Good and evil had to join forces and use their strongest magic just to confine the Hollow. Both sides then chose a representative to guard the burial ground where the Hollow was contained again all magical beings. If the Hollow is unleashed, the only way to stop it from destroying evil is for good and evil to read the inscription on the box in which the Hollow is stored. This act will reconfine the Hollow in its crypt. Leprechauns Leprechauns are magical beings responsible for spreading luck. They use "gold nuggets" of concentrated luck, which they may use to grant a person either good or bad luck.

Poltergeists These spirits haunt spaces, playing tricks on those who inhabit them. They generally do not intend any physical harm, but can be pests. Poltergeists retreat from electricity.

However, they are very unattractive creatures, dirty and loud, so they are usually ignored by humankind. Rathmere A wizard of unknown age and uncertain orgins, Rathmere once possessed vast magical powers. He is credited with more than 500 original spells and potions and would be a force to rival any other if not for his mysterious disappearance in 1904.

Shakti and Shiva Shakti, the Hindu goddess of creation, and Shiva, the god of destruction are commonly invoked at weddings because they are considered the ultimate lovers. Shakti, also called the ultimate mother, and Shiva together created all things, and if they consummate their love again. All things will be obligated and the universe will be reborn. The Titans These God-like beings were very powerful, and lived many centuries ago. Having power over the Earth and its natural forces, soon they became corrupt with power and began abusing the control they held over the earth. In order to stop their tyrannical rule, the Elders imbued some mortals with a tremendous amount of power and they were able to entomb but not defeat the Titans. The Tribunal A council made up of both Elders and Demons, the Tribunal monitors magic to keep people from ever finding out about its use, whatever the cost. Cole Turner Cole Turner is a rather unique magical being. Born in 1885 to a demonic mother and human father, Cole had a demon half, Belthazor, and a soul. For more than one hundred years, Cole was a highly-respected and ruthless demonic soldier of fortune and a member of the Brotherhood of the Thorn. Desperate to kill The Charmed Ones, The Triad offered Cole a deal: if he killed the witches, then he would receive his father's soul in return. In order to approach the sisters, he took on his human form and disguised himself as an Assistant District Attorney. But while he was trying to get close to Phoebe in order to kill the three sisters, he fell in love with her and ended up killing the Triad. He spent many months helping the Charmed Ones and dodging bounty hunters until a potion vanquished his demon half, leaving him human. Though free from bounty hunters, Cole felt very unsure about himself and his place in the world as a human, exacerbated by the fact that Phoebe hesitated at accepting his marriage proposal. So when The Seer approached him and told him that he would have to absorb The Source's powers to save the sisters, he did so. However, she did not tell him that the powers would find a permanent place inside of him. Cole operated as the Source for several months, first without Phoebe's knowledge and then with her by his side. Eventually, Phoebe chose her family over Cole and she and her sisters vanquished Cole. Like all demons, Cole was sent to the demonic wasteland when he was vanquished, but because he had a soul Cole managed to hang on. He figured out how to absorb the powers of the vanquished demons, which allowed him to pull himself out of the wasteland. Rejected by Phoebe, who did not want to get involved with a demon again, Cole tried to kill himself but found that he was indestructible. He was approached by the Avatars who wanted to make him one of them and he accepted their offer only as another attempt to win Phoebe back. Cole cast a spell which altered reality, making it so that the power of three had never been reconstituted. By altering reality in this way, Cole resumed his former identity of Belthazor, making him vulnerable to being vanquished. Because Paige Matthews also crossed realities, she was able to unite with her sisters to vanquish Cole once and for all. Valkyries A powerful race of demigoddesses who scout the battle grounds for dying warriors, then take their souls to Valhalla where they prepare them for the final world battle. Though fierce in their nature, Valkyries are not evil. They remain secluded in Valhalla and do not attack other beings unless they feel the secret of their location has been threatened. Like witches, they aim to protect the innocent. Vincent When Paige conjured her version of Mr. Right for personal gain, Vincent appeared as well, the complete foil of Mr. Right. While he remained tied to and devoted to Paige, his devotion took a darker turn. He appealed to Paige's darker side as well, using his sway over her to urge her to kill her sisters. Witch Doctors Little is known of witch doctors except for their dedication to expel evil sprits from demonic footholds. Using strange unknown magic rituals, witch doctors feel their status as watch dogs of evil gives them the freedom to attack evil in all its shifting guises. While witch doctors are not evil, they are not well-trusted because of their tendency to rely on their own definitions of evil and have used their magic to harm good beings in the past. Witch doctors have the power to place hexes on people using personal objects, turning their current fixations into obsessions, which leads to self-destructive behaviour. Wizards A wizard is a magical being that has the ability to create illusions of many kinds. Most of this species were killed by The Source, but a few survive. While wizards are not necessarily evil by nature they are not to be trusted. Wood Nymphs Wood nymphs are magical creatures that are responsible for protecting nature, and they are usually in the company of a satyr. Nymphs rarely leave their forest unless they feel threatened. They are entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the Eternal Spring, which bestows life and health to whomever drinks from it. To remind themselves of what they protects, nymphs wear a drop of water from the spring around their neck. Nymphs also can turn certain types of magical creatures into fellow nymphs. Yama In Chinese mythology, Yama is the gatekeeper of hell. He preys on the souls of those ghosts who have not received a proper burial. Yama does not distinguish from good or evil � he only desires souls. Yen Lo Yen Lo was a student of a Zen master who turned evil when his teacher skipped over him to be the Zen master's successor. He realized how to enter and escape from limbo and wanted to use his powers to kidnap all of the Zen masters and keep them in limbo so that their souls, and wisdom, would never be reincarnated. Zen Master Zen masters are powerful, wise, mystical beings with an array of powers. They can use pools of water as portals to other worlds and are highly skilled in martial arts. Zen masters are responsible for training people as their successors as well. |
