Notes and Trivia

 * In a Season 4 episode of Charmed, Paige noted that the crystals need to oriented east to west.
 * Cages do not always work the same way. In most cases, the crystals form a cage of transparent energy, though in a season 3 episode of Charmed, sometimes bolts of lightning form a collar around the neck of the target, instead of forming a cage.


 * If a cage is charged too strongly, it can vanquish the target inside.
 * Prudence used a sixth crystal to warn her of if her cage had been activated in a season 3 episode of Charmed. This is the only time a sixth crystal is used.
 * A crystal cage was once used to protect Prue Halliwell's wedding dress.
 * A crystal cage was used to trap a Darklighter.
 * Gideon once used a crystal cage to trap baby Wyatt, when he was trying to kill him.
