[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Paige discovers that her new boss, Larry, made a deal with the demon Zahn, in which he sold his soul for a successful career. This means that his soul will now be auctioned off at a demon auction. Ignoring Piper and Phoebe's plea to not get involved, Paige sells her soul to Zahn in order to free Larry's. Her soul receives a lot more attention than Larry's because she's part whitelighter, part witch and because she's a Charmed One. Meanwhile, Piper learns that Wyatt has been sabotaging her dates; Phoebe receives a new writing partner; Paige finds a friend in Richard; and Chris' attempt to return to the future sends him and Leo traveling back in time.

[edit] Enemies

  • Zahn: The demon Zahn comes to his victims and promises them riches unimaginable in exchange for their soul. Originally a low-level demon, he traded souls for powers and is now a very powerful demon.
  • Grimlocks: Grimlocks are white demons with whirling red eyes. Underground demons who roam from city to city killing powerful forces of Good by seeing the unique auras that surround them, which they are able to do by stealing the sight of innocent children. The stolen eyesight will last twenty-four hours, but only if the children are alive. After the children's use has waned, the Grimlocks consume them.

[edit] Spells

  • To Summon Zahn: We call upon the ancient powers, to summon one to save a soul.
