Charmed is the story of The Charmed Ones the most powerful good witches the world has ever known, whose job is to protect the innocent and non blow their cover. When their grandmother, Grams, suffers a heart attack, Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell move back into the family manor in San Francisco where Phoebe discovers the legendary Book of Shadows hidden in the attic.Reading loudly a mystical incantation, the three sisters receive their Wiccan powers, which are needed to fight polish off evil. Despite wanting normal lives,The Charmed Ones fight evil beings either day and have always been the most powerful source of good witches and good magic the world has ever seen. The perception of witches in American goal has undergone a rad ical trans realizeation in the last century as Americans have become familiar with scientific explanations for supernatural events.Because of this, there has been much little genuine fear or hysteria regarding the supposed use of occult magic. Yet the popularity of witches in America persists even today. In concomitant, the frequent appearances of witches in goggle box and film have gradually changed the way most Americans think about witches. The most notable change has been in the presentation of women in these rolesfrom the evil, traditional witch witches in early works like DisneysSnow Whiteto the much more attractive and benevolent Halliwell sisters of the television seriesCharmed.Magic in itself is fascinating. Having such(prenominal) a tremendous power id amazing and the responsibilities that come with it are enormous. Fighting demons, evil witches and warlords and CHARMED MY FAVORITE TV SHOW the ultimate bad poke fun The Source is what the Halliwell sisters are born an d even one dies for. The three sisters, Prue, Piper, Phoebe and later Paige have such powers combined that they try to save the world mundane while trying to sustain a normal mortal life like everyone else in the world.The first in the line, Melinda Warren was burned at the jeopardize but before this, she foresaw that for each one coming generation of witches in her family would grow stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters the strongest good witches the world had ever seen the three sisters would form the Power of Three making them the most powerful magical force ever to exist. The effect of a Power of Three coalition being create is that all the members powers are pooled together into aCollective. One of the benefits of this bond isHigh Resistance.Of course, the downsides of this are that the amount of power one gains from this is relative to the level of the other beings involved, with the to a higher place example assuming that the beings involved are (at least more or less) the same strength. Another downside of this is that if one member dies it weakens the Collective, making the other members easier to kill off with the conclusion of each member. However, on the flip side, more powerful (and accordingly higher level) beings are harder to kill/affect with ones powers than lower level ones i. e.Piper and the other unhomogeneous Charmed Ones have been shown to have taken direct hits from all kinds of attacks such as Fire and Energy Balls and live many times over whereas such attacks would vanquish any other magical creature instantly. The Triadare also highly resilient to Pipers combustion power whereas other lower CHARMED MY FAVORITE TV SHOW level demons usually disintegrate within seconds. Therefore this particular con is easily balanced out. Then there is the fact that this collective interconnects all of the members to each other in various metaphysical ways.Certain spells cast on one member may affect the others thro ugh this interconnectedness such as when Prue was magically turned evil, causing Piper and Phoebe to turn evil also. A Power of Three bond can be broken in several ways. If the members use their powers on each other in a negative manner or atmosphere then the bond will be broken. Fortunately, this may be reformed by all of the members reconnecting with each other emotionally or something to that effect. For example, when the Charmed Ones used their powers on each other during an argument it shattered their Power of Three.However, later on they all got over the argument and showed their solidarity as a sister (which is where their Power of Three comes from) and hence reformed it. Another way, mentioned above, would be if one of the members died. Although this event is less likely the implications are more severe as the collective would be weakened beyond repair.
