Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun

Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun is the 19th episode of the fifth season and the 107th overall episode of Charmed.

Summary
Two demons want to get revenge on wood nymphs and kill their Satyr. While the first tries to kill the nymphs, the other tries to lure them into believing that he is their new Satyr so that they would bring him to the Eternal Spring. The Wood Nymphs flee to the city, and the Elders send the Charmed Ones to help them because they fear exposure. When one Nymph is killed, the remaining two change Paige into a Nymph to be complete again.

Characters
Characters in bold appear for the first time in the series.

Nymphs
Piper mentions from the entry on Nymphs that only certain types of Witches can be turned into Nymphs. The entry itself is never seen and the content is thus unknown.



To Locate Nymphs
Paige was working on a Spell to locate Nymphs, based on combining the four elements: water, wind, earth and fire. However, because the Nymphs were on TV, she never finished it. But later, Piper and Phoebe finished it to find Paige. It teleported them to the forest where the Eternal Spring was. The Spell itself is never seen casting and thus unknown.

To Turn an Immortal Demon into a Tree
When Tull drank from the Eternal Spring, he became invincible and immortal. As a Vanquishing Spell wouldn't work, Paige suggested that they could cast a Spell to turn Tull into something else immortal, like a tree. She then improvised the first part of the Spell, and Piper continued to finish it.


 * Changing Seasons Changes All

 * Nothing is Immune, Everything Transmutes
 * So take this demon and give him roots.

Vanquishing Potion
Phoebe brought a Vanquishing Potion with her to vanquish Xavier and Tull. Xavier still tried to attack Piper and Phoebe, but they dodged his stream of fire and Phoebe threw the Vanquishing Potion. She later tried the same Potion on Tull, but because he had drunk from the Eternal Spring, he was invincible and thus Immune to the potion.
