"I mean, hello, guys. Book of Shadows 101, mirrors. The portals through which evil enters."
Prue to her sisters.[src]

A Mirror is an object that reflects light while preserving the original details of the light, thus creating a mirror image.

Mirrors can be powerful magical tools for those with the knowledge and power to use them. Mirrors can serve as portals between worlds and can be used to observe others and communicate with them. They can also be used to foresee the future.

History[]

A powerful sorceress named Kali was cursed into her own dimension and could only appear in reflections. She manipulated a girl named Aviva and was later able to possess her through the mirror. She was banished by the Charmed Ones when her reflection in the mirror was shattered.[1]

When someone broke into the manor and shattered all the mirrors, Prue believed it to be the work of evil. However, it was later revealed that an obsessive stalker was actually responsible.[2]

The Evil Witch was trapped in a Magic Mirror and kept in the Fairy Tales Fortress. When the mirror fell and shattered, she was freed and killed the keeper. She proceeded to trap his apprentice in the mirror and used it to spy on the Charmed Ones. When Piper vanquished the witch, the apprentice was freed.[3]

Gideon used a magical mirror to communicate with his evil counterpart in the parallel world. It was later used by Phoebe, Paige and Leo to work with their counterparts to stop and vanquish Gideons. When Gideons were killed, Leos destroyed the mirrors to keep the worlds from ever crossing again.[4]

Alexi used a mirror to predict the future and to gather information. After she was killed by Rennek, an image of her appeared in the mirror to warn Cole and the sisters.[5]

Notes and Trivia[]

  • Mirrors can also display the real souls of those whose bodies have been possessed by Life Essence.
  • There is a plot hole where sometimes mirrors could reflect magical powers. Notable examples include:
    • Prue used a hand mirror to reflect Javna's optical energy beam.[6]
    • Cole threw an energy ball at a mirror that flew back at himself.[7]
      • But sometimes they don't reflect powers (for example, when Leo and his evil counterpart destroyed the mirrors with their powers).[8]
