Power Binding

Power binding is a term for neutralizing a being's powers. This method can be performed by means of spells and a binding potion. Unlike power stripping, it can be undone by a reversal spell, a potion or the death of the caster.

History
Grams bound her granddaughters﻿' powers right after Phoebe was born, in order to protect them from evil. In 1998, she died of cardiac arrest, but her granddaughters' powers were unlocked until six months later due to Phoebe moving to New York soonafter she died and didn't return until six months later.

Piper made a power binding potion for a firestarter named Tyler to keep him safe, much to his pleasure.

In the alternate timeline of 2009, a spell was added to the Book of Shadows entitled "To Bind". Piper wanted to bind her alternate daughter's powers with this spell, but changed her mind at the last minute.
