To Disempower a Witch

This spell/ritual can be used by either Good Witches or Evil Witches. It is seen in the episode That Old Black Magic in Tuatha's Grimoire. There are two versions of it, Tuatha's and the one in the Charmed One's Book of Shadows. However, the Charmed Ones, being good witches and all do not use it because they will not kill a human for a fresh heart; it's a breach of the Wiccan Rede, whereas Tuatha, like all evil witches, will. Rather than killing evil witches, good witches will often disempower or bind the powers of a witch who misuses her magic with a spell such as this one. Evil witches will use it to achieve a goal attainable by relinquishing a good witches power rather than killing her.

The ritual was then used in A Witch In Time by the warlock Bacarra to disempower the sisters after stealing the Book of Shadows by cloaking him and his past self in goodness.

Other Information
The ritual will require a fresh heart for each witch wished to be disempowered.

This does not allow a being to steal the witch's power, only disempower her. Stealing her power requires a special spell and potion that allows you to strip her of her power and then call them into the body. Tuatha's version in her Grimoire is the same spread over two pages.
