Darklighter-Witches are the crossbreed between a witch and a Darklighter and can inherit the powers and abilities from both species. Only three of these hybrids are known to exist and they all hail from the Parallel World.
History[]
The Parallel Universe[]
In a parallel universe where moralities are reversed, the Warren Line of witches was evil. As such, instead of Whitelighters, they had affairs with Darklighters. The first Darklighter-Witch in this universe was Paige Matthews, followed by Wyatt and Chris Halliwell. When trying to send the adult Evil-Chris back to the future, Gideon sabotaged the attempt as a distraction and instead traded the good Leo and Chris for their evil counterparts.
Good-Phoebe and Good-Paige later traveled to the parallel universe to retrieve them and met their own evil counterparts. Eventually, the good and evil Charmed Ones worked together to save both Wyatts and restore their respective universes. A Darklighter-Witch version of Wyatt also appeared as an illusion created by Barbas.[1]
Vicus's Curse[]
When the demon Vicus turned the little Wyatt evil to become a member of his collective, Wyatt and his future self turned into Darklighter-Witches. Vicus managed to gain Wyatt's trust by speaking to him for months while invisible to everyone else and eventually cursed his bear Wuvey, turning Wyatt evil. The curse was later undone by Leo, turning his son good again.[2]

Notes and Trivia[]
- All known Darklighter-Witches are part of the Halliwell family.
- It is unknown if this species currently exists within this reality and timeline.
- It is presumed that all Whitelighter-Witches who become evil become Darklighter-Witches, as was the case with future cursed Wyatt in "Imaginary Fiends". However, for some reason this did not happen to Paige when she was under the influence of evil in "12 Angry Zen".
- According to Leo, Darklighters are not able to orb something or someone.[3] This means that, unlike the Elders and Whitelighter-Witches, who can develop Telekinetic Orbing and Remote Orbing, they are not capable of their evil counterpart powers.
- However, it has been shown that half-witches from a Parallel World are capable of Black Telekinetic Orbing. Also, the cursed adult Wyatt, who temporarily became a half-Darklighter, was capable of Remote Black Orbing. It means that hybrids are capable of this power.
