Past Life Spell

The Past Life Spell is the name given to a spell in the Book of Shadows that gives the caster the ability to experience a past life. However, the caster only has the ability to observe and doesn't have any control over the perspective life.

1998
Phoebe Halliwell first discovered the spell in 1998, when her past life as an evil witch named Pearl Russell, started affecting her. She cast the spell to take her back in time to the 1920s, where she was able to gather information about her past life. She later used an alternate version of this spell to go back in time and have control over Russell's body.

Throughout Destined Series
Alex Trudeau used this spell under similar circumstances in 2035, when his own past life, Alexander the Great, was being poisoned. Alex cast the spell and went back in time, where he was able to learn more about Alexander the Great and what was happening to both of them.

Notes and Trivia

 * The spell allows the user to visit their past life, however, they are not in control of their past lives actions and can merely observe what is happening around them;
 * When Phoebe cast the spell she was able to feel the same emotions as her past life, and this seems to be the case with Alex when he cast the spell;
