Patricia "Patty" Halliwell was a witch of the Warren line of witches. She was the mother of Prue, Piper, Phoebe Halliwell, and Paige Matthews (whom she mothered through a forbidden affair with her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder, and Paige later replaced Prue in the legendary Power of Three after Prue's death). Patty was tragically killed on February 28, 1978, by the Water Demon, whom she tried to vanquish at Camp Skylark but before her death, she was pregnant with another daughter, Peyton Campbell whom she gave away for the same reasons, she did with Paige.
Power and Abilities
Basic Powers
- Spell Casting: The ability to cast spells and perform rituals. Patty was particularly skilled in this fundamental ability, being able to invent spells to counter those of her mother at the mere age of nine, though the rhyming was rather poor. She was also able to bless a ring that gave Nicholas immunity to even the Power of Three.
- Potion Brewing: The ability to brew potions.
- Scrying: The ability to locate a person or object using a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
- Mediumship: The ability to see and commune with the spirits of the dead.
Active Powers
- Molecular Immobilization: The ability to slow molecules down to the point that they appear to be frozen in time. This was Patty's primary power, which she channelled through her hands.
Other Powers
- High Resistance: As an upper-level witch, Patty is highly resistant to lethal powers such as fireballs.
Spirit Powers
- Wiccan Orbing: As a spirit, Patty possessed the power to teleport through white lights. When teleporting, she was surrounded by swirling white orbs, until she vanished and appeared elsewhere.
- Spirit Writing: Patty wrote a message to Prue on the Barbas page of the Book of Shadows from the Ancestral Plane, and later, a note beneath a picture of her and Piper in a baby book.
- Intangibility: As a spirit, Patty was intangible and could pass through objects.
- Voice Echo: As a spirit, Patty could project her voice from the spirit plane.
Temporary Powers
- Premonition: When Patty was pregnant with her third child, Phoebe Halliwell, she received visions from her unborn baby's power. Two such visions were when she saw her daughters from the future taking her present children from the manor, and another on the day of Phoebe's birth when she saw herself hugging her three oldest daughters on Piper's wedding day.
- Power Tapping: Needing to perform a Power of Three spells to return the Charmed Ones to their own time, Patty tapped into her unborn child's magic to perform the spell with her daughters.
