* AllYourPowersCombined: Shows up twice. The antidote potion to cure Chris requires blood from all three of the Charmed Ones. Later, when the heroes go into battle against the Spider Demon, all of their magical friends use their unique powers to help: the fairy flies in the demon's face to distract her, the nymph blends in with the nearby trees to launch a surprise attack, and the ogre simply crushes her in spider form.


Added DiffLines:

* BroughtDownToNormal: This is the Wicked Witch's M.O.: she transforms magical beings into mortal "opposite" versions of themselves (e.g, a fairy becomes an old lady, and a nymph becomes a cranky balding man). It robs her victims of their natural powers.
* ChekhovsGun: Riley the Leprechaun rewards Paige with his shillelagh as thanks for breaking the Wicked Witch's curse on him. Later, when Paige, Phoebe, and Leo are trapped in Spider!Chris's webbing, Paige uses the shillelagh to summon Riley to free them.


Added DiffLines:

* GenreSavvy: When Spider!Chris escapes the basement to get to Piper, Phoebe starts empathically channeling his anger and resentment toward Leo. She suggests that the range of her power is expanding, but the savvy Paige quickly realizes that Chris is in the next room.


Added DiffLines:

** PlayedForLaughs when Riley the Leprechaun arrives to free Paige, Phoebe, and Leo from their webbing. He warns them that his luck powers can't be controlled to give good or bad fortune, but Paige tells him to risk it anyway. Riley does so, and Paige is released--and promptly tumbles off the wall and directly onto a side table.


Added DiffLines:

** Played straight with the Wicked Witch--once Paige successfully recites a spell to destroy her, all of her victims are immediately restored to their rightful forms.
