[edit] Synopsis

Transformed into a mermaid, Phoebe escapes into the sea to flee her emotionally draining life outside of magic. Fearing for the life of their sister, Paige seeks out Cole to aid her in returning to normal while Piper and Leo try to vanquish both the Sea Hag and the Skeleton Demon. But when Piper finds herself about to drown herself, she receives a boost of confidence from both a spell and her mother Patty.

[edit] Enemies

  • Sea Hag: The Sea Hag is a hag-like demon who can control water. She can trap her victims in columns of water, and has control over environment, allowing her to cause rainstorms, hurricanes, and even tidal waves. She is a trickster, for she usually tricks mermaids who have grown tired of the sea and their immortality by offering them legs, so they can enter the mortal world; but at a price. Should the mermaid fail to find true love with a mortal, the Sea Hag takes her immortality. The Sea Hag was vanquished by Phoebe using an Auger Shell.
  • Necron: A Skeletal Being who hovers between life and death, this demon has the power to incinerate any living creature to feed on its life force. These stolen life force sustain them through centuries of unlife, though they require an unending supply of living essence to keep them from decaying further. Necron's powers include sucking life force, conjuring crows, healing himself, and shooting lightning bolts. Use caution when vanquishing as they are likely to create a massive explosion in the process.

[edit] Allies

  • Mermaids: Immortal magical undersea creatures who have human forms from the waist up, and fish form from the waist down.

[edit] Spells

  • To Lose One's Fears: Locked in, boxed in. Full of fear, my panic grows manic, till I can’t hear. In need of reprieve, so that I can breathe, remove my fear. Please make it leave.
  • To Reveal Phoebe's Love for Cole: Open Phoebe’s heart to Cole. Reveal the secret that it holds. Bring forth the passion of love’s fire, that he may feel her true desire.
  • To Vanquish Necron: Tide of evil wash the shore, bring this darkness nevermore. Fell our strength, leave fight as fate. Make this evil obliterate.
