[edit] Synopsis

[edit] Enemies
- The Seer: See Seer (Charmed)
- The Tall Man: Oral tradition tells of a giant whose body served as a portal to other dimensions. He swallowed everything. Because he was imprisoned by the Source in a magical cage created by the Seer centuries ago, nobody knows what this demon's name is. There's no known vanquish for him, the Source was so threatened he condemned the giant to spend eternity in a cage. This cage, which was forged from unbreakable magic, is located in the Source's dungeon. The cage will allow magic in but not out. The Tall Man is vanquished by Phoebe (using the powers of the unborn child).
