The Three Essentials of Magic

The Three Essentials of Magic in the name given to an entry located inside of the Warren Book of Shadows. Not much is known of what the entry contains except that the essentials are timing, feeling and the phases of the moon. Phoebe Halliwell once stated that at midnight on the night a full moon is the most powerful time for witches.

Notes and Trivia

 * After the first episode of season 1 of Charmed, the essentials of magic are never mentioned again ever in the series.
 * Some fans have been able to link the three essentials of magic to the sisters' powers and the same with the cousins' powers;
 * Timing: Piper's (along with Wyatt and Melinda's) ability to freeze time through Molecular Immobilization.
 * Feeling: Phoebe's (along with Prue and Cassandra's) ability to sense future events through premonitions. Also; Phoebe, Prue, Cassandra and Charlotte's abilty to sense other beings' emotions through empathy.
 * Phases of the Moon: Prudence (along with Wyatt, and Chris') ability of Telekinesis and Paige's (along with Wyatt, Chris, Tamora, Pandora and Junior's) ability of Telekinetic Orbing; and Prue's ability of Telekinetic Beaming respectively. They reflect the movement of the moon, similar to how they move objects with their minds.
