Title: 1x09 The witch is back  
     
Creatures:

1x09 Matthew TateMatthew Tate is a warlock who had stolen Melinda Warren's love. She cursed him into the pewter heart, where he could spend eternity knowing the sting of betrayal. Only a descendant of Melinda could free him.
Matthew's gift is to copy the power of a good witch when it's used against him. Once he's copied a power, it has no effect on him. As all warlocks he is able to blink, which means to be at one place and then another in the blink of an eye.

He gets locked into the locket again by Melinda Warren

  
     
Spells: to remove the powers from Tate and lock him into the pewter heart:

We summon thee
