User:Charmdozo/Sandbox/Piper's Transformations

Over the course of the series, Piper Halliwell has undergone several magical transformations. This page contains a description of those transformations. This list does not include the times that Piper lost her powers or when she gained temporary powers.

Wendigo


In early 1999 Piper became a Wendigo after being scratched by another Wendigo on the second night of the full moon. At first, Piper began feeling tired, sweaty and sick. She had violent dreams and discovered the arm where she was scratched had turned hairy. As the full moon approached, Piper became more agressive and agitated. Prue and Phoebe realized they had to vanquish the one who turned Piper to cure her and handcuffed her to a pipe. When the moon appeared, Piper fully transformed into a Wendigo and broke free. She tracked her sisters to the park, where she and Agent Fallon circled them. Not knowing which Wendigo to vanquish, Prue chose one and fired a flare gun. Luckily, Piper was able to freeze the flare as it was fired at her, allowing Prue to move it at Agent Fallon. As the agent was vanquished, Piper was returned to normal.

As a Wendigo, Piper had all the common powers and abilities possessed by the species and retained access to her own powers.

Whitelighter


Piper became a Whitelighter on two seperate occasions, though both times, it was as a result of her powers being swapped with Leo.

Piper first became a Whitelighter after using the To Exchange Power spell. She cast the spell after Leo was shot by the darklighter Alec, so she could use his own power to heal him. Although it did not work a first, she was able to heal him once she admitted she loved him, as love was the trigger. Their powers were swapped back once they cast the spell again.

The second time Piper became a Whitelighter was when her unborn child swapped his parents powers during an argument. This time, Piper was able to access all Leo's powers and took over his charges. Their powers were swapped back once they both realized what the other was going through and that they could handle it together.
