Book of Shadows

The Book of Shadows is the magical tome of the Warren Line. From all Book of Shadows around the whole world, this particular tome is the most powerful and coveted. It was created by Melinda Warren before her death in the 17th century, and has been passed down every generation until the Destined Ones.

It is full with information about witchcraft, demons, Warlocks and many others magical beings as well as potions recipes and spells.

Origins

Melinda Warren created the Book of Shadows before her death in 1692 and her daughter Prudence gave it continuity. Back then, it was a small book, but it grew up because every generation added information onto it. Not only information about demons and how to vanquish them, but any kind of information they thought it was necessary to be write down.

More recently, the book received new entries by Penny Halliwell, Patty Halliwell, Prudence Halliwell, Piper Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews.

2030s
By 2030, the Book is the first place the Destined Ones look at when they get a magical situation on hands. They also write down any information they think important to be registered.

The Book´s place reminds in the attic of the Halliwell Manor, but each one of the Destined Ones is allowed to go and read every time they want or need to.

Alternate Book of Shadows
In the dark future, the Book of Shadows no longer resided in the attic of the Halliwell Manor. It stayed in the Prescott Manor with Prue and Wyatt and was considered a totem of Evil. This future was eradicated after Jo fixed the timeline. In the new timeline crafted by Jared in 2035, the Book of Shadows has several new entries on magical beings. It is slightly different than the real version of the book and is a bit smaller. It is also linked to Piper, Phoebe, and Paige, as the new Charmed Ones were never constituted.
