Penny Halliwell

Penny Halliwell's powers and abilities

Basic Powers:

Spell Casting: The ability to cast spells and perform rituals. Penny was noted to be particularly skillful in this fundamental ability - during her years of raising her daughter and granddaughters, she invented spells to discipline them when they got out of hand, and was also responsible for creating many spells in the Book of Shadows.

Potion Brewing: The ability to brew potions. Penny was noted to be a particularly gifted potioneer, perhaps the very best one out of the Warren line—she crafted a great many potion recipes in the Book of Shadows.

Scrying: The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.

Mediumship: The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.

Active Powers:

Telekinesis: The ability to move objects and beings with the power of one's mind alone. Penny's telekinetic power dramatically surpassed even that of Prue's during her early years as a Charmed One—in 1975, when the Charmed Ones visited the past, Penny mistook them for warlocks and repelled them through an intricate path out to the porch, and also used it to undo Piper's "freeze" on Andy. During Piper's and Leo's wedding, she used it to play "Pachelbel's Canon" on wind chimes, and in later instances, she was shown using it to send her opponents flying great distances with dramatic impacts, all of which testify to her formidable strength and expert skill as a potent telekinetic witch.

Other Powers:

High Resistance: As an upper-level witch, Penny is highly resistant to lethal powers such as fireballs.

Spirit Powers:

Wiccan Orbing: As a spirit, Penny possessed the power to teleport through white-lights. This power, much like orbing, surrounded her in swirling white orbs until she vanishes and appears elsewhere.

Spirit Writing: Penny once wrote a message to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe on the Book of Shadows, wishing them "Happy Anniversary" on their first year as witches.

Intangibility: As a spirit, Penny was intangible and could pass through objects.

Voice Echo: Penny could project her voice to the living from the spiritual plane.

Summoning: The ability to draw or transport another dead being from the afterlife.

Wisping: Wisping is a form of teleportation, similar to the powers of Fading or Smoking, possessed by earthbound spirits, as well as spirits in the afterlife. In order to wisp, the ghost must concentrate on a being or location.
