[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

When Paige attempts to hire a new professor for Magic School, she learns that one of the candidates, Drake, is an ex-demon who made a deal with a demonic Sorcerer to become human. In an attempt to convince the sisters of his good intentions, Drake transforms himself into Robin Hood to help them see that life is not so bad. However, the Sorcerer, vying for Drake's powers, casts a spell on him causing Drake to believe he really is Robin Hood. Convinced that Phoebe is "Maid Marion" and the corrupt owner of the phone company is the evil "Prince John," Drake takes him hostage, causing a media frenzy. Meanwhile, Piper can't enjoy Valentine's Day knowing that Leo's fate is in the hands of the Elders.

[edit] Enemies

  • Zankou: A powerful demon who was an enemy of The Source of All Evil. The Source incarcerated him out of fear, most likely because Zankou was a demon that could match the Source in strength. After the Source died for good and the threat from the Avatars neared, a group of demons freed him. He had the power to shoot waves of powerful energy, can regenerate when harmed, throw energy balls, shapeshift, sense things in ways no one else can, teleport in several ways, read and scan minds telepathically, has many demonic powers (like the Source), and can absorb the powers of whoever he kills as well as many more. He is intelligent and, unlike most demons, is more concerned with survival than a foolhardy ambition to fight the war between good and evil. Zankou attempts to gain control over the Shadow in the Nexus in order to get full control of the Book of Shadows and turn it evil. Zankou was vanquished when the Charmed Ones recited the spell to destroy the Nexus while its Shadow was inside him.
  • The Sorcerer: A powerful demon.
  • Mercury Demons: A race of demons.

[edit] Spells

  • To Summon a Sorcerer: Sorcerer of darkness, demon of fright. I call you now into my sight.
  • Sorcerer Vanquishing Spell: Evil blast we can not use. The Power of Three now lights the fuse.
