To Disempower A Witch

To Disempower a Witch is the name given to a spell written in both the Warren Book of Shadows and Tuatha's Grimoire. This spell is used to remove the powers of a witch, so she is unable to use them when they're needed.

Notes and Trivia

 * It is unknown who created the spell and why it was added to the Book of Shadows, as killing a person for their heart is an act of evil.
 * The ritual will require a fresh heart for each witch wished to be disempowered.
 * Although the ritual requires a fresh heart for each witch wished to be disempowered, in the episode "A Witch In Time", Bacarra disempowered all three Charmed Ones by using only one heart from one witch.
 * This does not allow a being to steal the powers of witches, only disempower them.
 * When Tuatha cast this spell, the sisters were still able to use their basic powers, however, when Bacarra cast this spell, they lost their basic powers as well. Additionally, Paige lost her whitelighter powers as well, even though when the Stillman Sisters stole the sisters' powers, she retained her whitelighter powers.
