Potions

Potions are liquids with magical properties. Brewed with the necessary herbs, spices, or other various ingedients, these magical substances can achieve various effects. Although most potions are liquid, they can also exist in other forms such as gels or powders. The effect of a potions depends on the used ingredients or accompanied spell.

In order for a potion to work, one has to be magical (and possess the ability to brew potions), otherwise some potions might just be poisonous concoction to the drinker.

The Halliwell FamilyEdit
The Warren Book of Shadows contains a plethora of potions, nearly all of them written by Penny Halliwell, who was considered the best potion maker of the entire Warren-Halliwell line.

Piper Halliwell is widely considered the best potion-maker among the Charmed Ones. This is due to years of experience along with her natural talent and training as proffesional chef. Piper is very adept at creating potions for various effects. Piper created a potion to replicate her power of Molecular Comubstion after the Source stole her powers. She also created a potion to replicate her power of Molecular Immobilization.

Sage Halliwell is considered the best potion-maker among the new Charmed Ones. This is due to her taking over Halliwell's and the fact that she spent many hours in the kitchen while Siam was scrying and Saphire was writing and casting spells.

Usage of PotionsEdit
Potions can be used in various ways. Some potions are meant to be consumed to be effective, while most potions can be thrown at the target or shattered on the floor in front of them.

Vanquishing potions can commonly be thrown at the target, while the Power Binding potion has to be consumed. Some potions are required to be used in combination with a spell to achieve the desired effect or a spell can be used to increase the power or vise versa.
