Spirit Board (general)



The Spirit Board serves a number of great purposes in Charmed. Although only used a few times, it has helped the sisters in many ways:


 * Receiving their powers (Something Wicca This Way Comes)
 * The Charmed Ones originally received their powers because of the spirit board, which was probably done by Grams . The board spelled out "Attic", which lead Phoebe Halliwell to find the Book of Shadows. She then cast the spell for the Charmed Ones to receive their powers. In this episode, it's revealed that the sisters' mother, Patty Halliwell, wrote an inscription on the back of the spirit board, before she died, to tell the sisters that the "Power of Three, will set them free."


 * Finding a kidnapped boy ("Secrets and Guys")
 * Prue, found a kidnapped, young male witch named, Max Franklin, through the use of the spirit board.


 * Finding the name of a demon ("Witch Trial")
 * In Witch Trial, Grams revealed Abraxas' name, by using the spirit board.


 * Contacting those on other planes ("Apocalypse, Not")
 * When Prue was trapped in an unknown plane, she contacted her sisters by using the spirit board.


 * Calling Help ("Repo Manor")
 * When trapped inside the dollhouse, the Charmed Ones used the spirit board to contact Billie to come save them.
