Whitelighter-Witch

Whitelighter Hybrids are humans (witches, or possibly even mortals) born with whitelighter DNA, allowing them to manifest a variety of whitelighter powers and calling.

The relationship between a witch and a whitelighter was originally forbidden by the Elders. For this reason, only a small number of Whitelighter Hybrids exist, most of which are born within the Warren line of witches.

History
The first of this breed seen in the series was Paige Matthews, the secret daughter of Patty Halliwell and Sam Wilder. To keep Paige's birth secret from the Elders, the couple brought her to a church, where a nun named Sister Agnes gave her to Mr. and Mrs. Matthews to be raised.

It was later revealed that one year before the birth of Paige, a Whitelighter-Witch was born in the Marks Line of Witches named Simon Marks. However, the details around his birth were never explained.

The third was Wyatt Halliwell, who was born from the union of Piper Halliwell and her whitelighter Leo Wyatt. He was ultimately one of the most powerful beings in existence due to being the Twice-Blessed Child. The two had a second son about a year afterward; Chris, who was also half-whitelighter but not as powerful. Years later, Piper and Leo had a third child together, Melinda Halliwell, who was made into a whitelighter-witch by The Elders in an attempt to create more Twice-Blessed children. Paige's twin daughters, Tamora and Kat, are also part Whitelighter, however, their Wiccan active powers did not mix with their Whitelighter heritage.

Piper and Leo will ultimately have a grandson named Matthew Halliwell, who was also part-whitelighter, as seen in a flash forward. Which of their children is his parent is still unknown.

Hybrid Powers
Being born from two separate magical species, Whitelighter-Witches sometimes develop hybrid forms of powers possessed by Witches and Whitelighters.

Telekinetic Orbing
Telekinetic Orbing is the ability to move or teleport objects through use of orbs. This power is a hybrid combination of Telekinesis and Whitelighter magic, where instead of moving the object with the mind alone, the object is moved through use of orbs. This power is commonly possessed by Whitelighter-Witches, but beings such as Elders have also displayed this power.

Orb Shield
Orb Shield is the ability to create a sphere or barrier in order to defend oneself or others. It is a form of Force Field which appears as translucent blue energy. This power is a highly focused advancement of Telekinetic Orbing, developed by Wyatt Halliwell and Paige Matthews.
