Description
Make a list of themes developed in Charmed.
Power of Three (of the 3 sisters):
Trinity,
law of Three.
Good vs. Evil
Witches vs. Warlocks.
duality.
...
Powers!
They keep trying to steal powers from each others...
amnesia: often human will forget what happened to them when under a spell, after the spell is over.
(S01E08 - Episode 8 - The Truth Is Out There And It Hurts)
I don't know how this got away...
A strong case is made for heredity. One is born a witch or not. Powers are things we are given to us (or taken away) but not something that we learn.
a witch gives a power to a girl. A bad witch: S01E07 - Episode 7 - The Fourth Sister.
S01E09 - Episode 9 - The Witch Is Back: : a lot is made of the sister's lineage and ancestry.
We have a bug here:
#125: associated page field is blanked out
deception:
Warlocks always deceive about who they are, what they want.
S01E07 - Episode 7 - The Fourth Sister: the girl is deceived by the bad witch, leading the girl to do the opposite of what she wanted to do.
grr... see comment in issue, above.
Objects have magical powers, too. In many episodes, an item or another, often a relic has a special meaning or power.
