Abraxas is a demon of the astral plane who destroy witches by demonising their powers.
By undoing the Charmed Ones spells he could call vanquished demons and warlocks back to life and send them against the witches.

 

Abraxas is vanquished by the Charmed Ones

to vanquish Abraxas:

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 
we call upon the ancient power

As Prue struggles to come to terms with Andy's death, the Book of Shadows is stolen by Abraxis, who starts to undo the sisters' spells one by one. This causes the demons and warlocks they have vanquished to re-enter their lives and they are forced to fight their enemies once more.
Meanwhile, Prue considers quitting the craft and Piper decides to buy a new nightclub.

Piper: Prue, it's not your fault. You tried to keep Andy from coming here that night, remember? You tried to warn him but he came anyway. He came because he wanted to.
Phoebe: And there was nothing that you could have done to stop him, Prue. He chose to walk through that door, not because of who you are, honey, but because of who he was.
