The Magical Community

The Magical Community is the term used to refer to the magical beings living all over the world and other dimensions. The Magical Community is formed of both good and evil magical beings and is ruled by The Tribunal.

In Volume Four of Season 9 a second Magical Community is created, composed solely of mortals, whom at the moment are the only ones with powers.

Origins
The origins of the magical community began at the first days of humanity when a woman later known as Neena came upon the Nexus of The All, a spiritual energy that runs through everything. Tappng into its power along with her mate, they became one with The All and created a realm beyond the physical universe: The Higher Realm.

However, their bond with the All contained it within the Higher Realm and the Earth slowly began to die out. They were forced to return and Neena gave birth to two twins who where concieved while they were in the Higher Realm: the begining of both the witch and warlock lineages. The children that came later possessed no power to speak of but they could tap into magic as witch practioneers.

Ancient Greece
"Ultimately the Titans could not be vanquished and the only way they could be stopped was by magically entombing them in ice, an act which brought an end to their terrible reign."

- The Titans' downfall being mentioned in the Halliwells' Book of Shadows.

Aproximately a thousand years B.C. a race of God-like beings called the Titans ruled the world ruthlessly and were so powerful that none dared defy them until, at long last, the Elders used an ancient vapor to turn various mortals into Gods. However, the Titans could not be vanquished and so the Gods chose to use their magic to emtomb them in ice where they remained for three thousand years.

Hiding of Magic
By the 1400s mortals had became hostile to magic and magical beings and begun horrific witch trials. Of all witch trials none was more terrible than that at Salem where hundreds of innocent people were burned at the stake.

During this time, the magical witch Melinda Warren was stripped of her powers by a warlock named Matthew Tate and burned at the stake. However, she forsaw that the Warren family of witches would continue to grow until the arrival of the three most powerful good witches of the world: The Charmed Ones.

The persecution affected good and evil in equal measure and, to save themselves, both chose to hide and created the Tribunal whom eventually created the Cleaners.

Shifting of Power from Evil to Good
In 2002, the reconstituted Charmed Ones posed a considerable threat to the Source of All Evil. In his desperation he decided to call upon the powers of the Hollow. Absorbing the Charmed Ones' powers, the Source nearly managed to destroy them but he was vanquished.

Through trickery, the Source managed to escape into the body of Cole Turner and then The Seer but the Charmed Ones eventually vanquished him. The shifting of power was complete when the Charmed Ones managed to vanquish The Triad, thus rendering The Underworld leaderless.

Magic Switches Sides
When magic switches sides, all magical beings that were on Earth at the moment of the switch were stripped of their powers and mortals gained magic. With the Earth cut off from the Elders, the Angels of Destiny and pretty much all forms of authority, mortals use magic without control.

Meanwhile, the government attempts to track the source of magic and creates Magic Squads to capture anyone who doesn't exhibit powers.

Rulers
Though there are many influential groups and organizations in the magical community, there's no unified authority. Instead there are two major powers: Good and Evil. However, even within those two there are separatists groups, especially in Evil.

One of the most influential groups is The Tribunal, a union of good and evil to protect magic and those who wield it, no matter the cost. But the Tribunal is not without a challenge. For example, the Avatars don't bow to the Tribunal's commands and neither do the Angels of Destiny and Death.

Morality
The magical community is at war with itself with two major factions leading the war: Good and Evil. However, there are some neutral beings too.

Secrecy
The magical community is constantly hidden from the mortal realm. This is something that all supernatural forces - both good and evil- had agreed upon. To ensure that magic is kept hidden, good and evil created the Cleaners, who would use their powers to erase memories, alter history etc., anything necessary to protect magic except for tipping the balance of good and evil.
