WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S TAINTED...

[Sarafine Duchannes]

So Charmed is really :] with its magic in general, and often utilizes it to explore characterization or just create really insane comic relief. SO I thought I'd dig up some of them and offer them as ~opportunities for plots~ here. All anyone really needs, if they're interested, is a way to get their characters to contact Phoebe - and to give her a reason for casting one of these. AND the plots that follow don't necessarily have to involve Phoebe herself; I'm willing to just offer her up to cast the spell and let a character or group of characters explore the effects on their own.

SO, if anyone's interested..

• Spell: Truth Spell
  Description: Forces those under it to speak exactly what's on their mind for 24 hours. Could be used for comedic effect, or possibly more seriously - like, if you have something you want revealed but you're not sure how to go about it??
  
  
• Spell: Power-Switching Spell
  Description: Juuust about what it sounds like. Since we have such a variety of abilities there, it might be fun to switch 'em around a bit and see how people handle it. :]
  
  
• Spell: Spell to Move Back in Time
  Description: Is there a past event your character wants to revisit, or maybe change? This could come in handy. But beware, interfering with the past can be dangerous.
  
  
• Spell: Spell to Move Forward in Time
  Description: Aaand if you want to see the future, here's your spell! However, keep in mind how this one works: you'll be literally transported into your future lives, into the bodies of your future selves. It can be a...shocking experience, for man
  
  
• Spell: To Hear Secret Thoughts
  Description: This one's sort of like the truth spell, except you literally hear everyone's thoughts. If the Truth Spell is being Anya for a day, then this one's being Hao for a day. :]
  
  
• Spell: Past Life Spell
  Description: Ever consider the idea that your character may have past lives? Go back and revisit them with this spell.
  
  
• Spell: Animal Transformation Spell
  Description: Transforms a person into the animal that best suits them. Disclaimer: some may find the results offensive.
  
  
• Spell: Good Luck Spell
  Description: Grants the person in question temporary good luck. Kind of Charmed's very own Felix Felicis. Maybe it'd be useful for a sort of deus ex machine thing??
  
  
• Spell: Seance Spell
  Description: Summons spirits from ~the beyond~. So, you know. If you ever need to briefly converse with the dead.
  
  
• Spell: Compromise Promoting Spell
  Description: This one's really :] and forces angry and violent thoughts out of a person's mind. Might be useful if two characters who'd typically do nothing but fIGHT want a calmer thread together?
  
  
• Spell: Mind Link Spell
  Description: Essentially, this spell allows people to go right into another character's mind. Think 'The Cell' :]. Might be interesting for exploring a character's psyche, though?
  
  
• Spell: Imagination Stretching Spell
  Description: Okay so this one is supposedly a spell to make people more 'open-minded', so someone could request to use it innocently enough - buuut what the spell doesn't tell you is that it accomplishes stretching a person's imagination by turning them into their child selves.
  
  
• Spell: Heart's Desire Spell
  Description: A particularly conflicted character might be interested in this one - it's said to actually give people the answers to whatever tough decisions they may have to make. However...the way it does this is actually really :], and a bit of a mindtrip. I'll say no more for now~
  
  
• Spell: Fearless Spell
  Description: Banishes all fear from a person's being. Sounds ideal, but...actually leads to some pretty reckless, dangerous situations.
