Magical Notes[]
Book of Shadows[]
- To Erase a Memory is before the page on Troxa.
- Belthazor is before the Hand of Fatima.
Troxa[]
- This Invisible Demon has the ability to
- attack unsuspecting victims and escape without
- detection. Although his power prevents the naked
- eye from seeing him, his being is still corporeal;
- therefore, he cannot pass through objects or walls.
- Troxa's one Weakness is that
- his ectoplasmic biochemistry is sensitive to
- cold. When he encounters cold temperatures
- he may become partially visible.
- This vulnerability can be used to defeat him.
Belthazor[]
- Beware of this Demonic
- Soldier of Fortune. Both powerful and
- dangerous, he has destroyed countless
- witches, innocents, and demons.
- As sinister as he
- is intelligent, he is not to be trusted,
- Belthazor's known abilities include
- throwing energy balls and shimmering
- from place to place, but his powers are
- probably not limited to these capabilities.
- Because there is no known way to defeat him,
- Belthazor should be avoided at all costs.
Spells[]
- Prue casts a spell using siderite crystals around the Book of Shadows, forming a Crystal Cage. (unseen)
Powers[]
- Telekinesis: Used by Prue to throw Abbey out of the Manor window. She later used it to smack away a pillow Troxa held to her face and to swat Troxa. After being kidnapped by Abbey, she used it to untie her ropes, to throw Abbey against a wall and to throw a bookshelf and several objects in the basement onto her. She flung Abbey again, onto a kitchen wall cabinet, knocking her out.
- Orbing: Type of teleportation used by Leo.
- Shimmering: Type of teleportation used by Cole.
- Summoning: Used by the Triad to summon Cole to their lair.
- Invisibility: Used by Trox to make himself invisible.
