Title: 3x17 Pre-Witched  
     
Creatures: 3x17 Shadow

Shadow was a familiar but is a warlock now.  Once a familiar becomes a warlock, they have until the next new moon to purge itself of its new life. If it succeeds, it becomes immortal. If it fails, it returns to its animal state for eternity. 
Shadow was a cat, so he has to shed all nine of its feline lives.

He was vanquished by the Charmed Ones.

  
     
Potions/Rituals: to contact the dead (seance):

6 candles white and purple
some burnings
cinnamon
frankincense
sandalwood
white cloth

put white cloth on a table or altar, place candles around.
 You will need to sweeten the air by burning cinnamon, frankincense and sandalwood. As the fire burns, concentrate on contact and the spirit and chant (If you know the mortal name of the deceased adjust the spell accordingly)		  
Spells:

to vanquish Shadow
Nine times this evil's cheated death, 
felt no pain and kept his breath, 
this warlock standing in our midst, 
let him feel what he has missed

to contact the dead:

Beloved unknown spirit. 
We seek your guidance, 
we ask you to commune with us 
and move among us

Random quote:

Prue: Wow, you've been thinking. That's a pretty big step for a warlock. Ugh, god, I am so sorry, that was awfully catty of me, wasn't it?
Warlock: Is this the part where I'm supposed to go "whoo, they did research" and run away?
