[edit] Enemies
- Seeker Demons: Demonic cousins to vampires. They are able to absorb the knowledge of those they slay by biting into the back of their victim’s necks and feeding on brain stem cells. This talent made them a particularly dangerous foe for the Charmed Ones. In addition to the power to drain, knowledge seekers were also able to float through the air, and teleport from place to place. The seekers encountered by The Charmed Ones also possessed the ability to sense, and follow, shimmer, as well as detect the presence of other demons.
[edit] Neutral Beings
- The Angel of Death: the angel responsible for guiding those destined to die in their final days. He is immune to witch powers and can not be vanquished.
[edit] Spells
- To Call the Angel of Death: Spirits of air, sand and sea. Converge to set the Angel free. In the wind I send this rhyme. Bring Death before me before my time.
- To Vanquish Seeker Demons: Knowledge gained by murderous means, is wisdom's bitter enemy. The mind that burns with stolen fire, will now become your funeral pyre.
