Title: 1x01 Something wicca this way comes  
     
Creatures: 1x01-jeremy.jpgJeremy Burns, lower level warlock, who attempts to kill the Charmed Ones and steal their powers by romancing them.
Jeremy is vanquished by the girls

Warlocks are former witches who failed to follow the "Wiccan Rede" (the witches moral code) and now hunt and kill witches to steal their powers.
They can blink which means moving from one place to an other with a blink of the eye. The eyes are very sensitive, flashing light can keep them from blinking.
Usually a warlock freezes or can be blown up but not always. A Power of three spell is the only guarantee.

SpiritboardOuija / Spirit Board

A spirit board is a flat board with letters, numbers and the words "yes" and "no" etched on the surface. When called on, spirits guide the pointer on the board to spell or select answers to questions. It is also known as a Ouija Board from the "yes", which translates as "Oui" in French and "Ja" in German thus spelling out "OuiJa".

On the back of the Halliwell spiritboard is the following inscription:
To my three beautiful girls.
May this give you the light to find the shadows.
The power of three will set you free.
Love, Mom.

Your love will wither and depart
From my life and my heart
Let me be, Jeremy, and go away forever

The Power of Three
will set us Free

to call for powers:

Hear now the words of the witches
The secrets we hid in the night
The oldest of gods are invoked here
The great work of magic is sought

In this night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Bring your powers to we sisters three
We want the power
Give us the power

Chant used by Serena Fredrick:

Ancient one of the earth so deep
Master of the moon and sun
I shield you in my Wiccan way
Here in my circle round,
Asking you to protect this space
And offer your sun-force down

Summary: In San Francisco, the three vastly different Halliwell sisters are reunited in the grand Victorian home of their childhood: Prue, the oldest, is driven to succeed and dislikes the free-spirited antics of the youngest sister Phoebe. Piper, the earthy middle sister, mediates between her siblings. Phoebe discovers The Book of Shadows in the attic and their witchly powers are activated, igniting a bond that reaches beyond petty, sisterly grudges. Prue has the power to move objects, Piper to freeze time and Phoebe to see the future. The sisters must band together to battle dark forces of the supernatural world. Keeping their powers secret could prove a challenge, since Inspector Andy Trudeau, Prue's ex, is closing in on a serial killer preying on local witches. Piper narrowly escapes death when she discovers her white-bread boyfriend Jeremy, an evil warlock, is the killer. Sparks fly when the sisters try their first spell - Jeremy is vanquished, and they discover the power of three.
