Call to a Restless Spirit is a spell that allows witches to revisit the past of spiritual beings in order to understand the reason for their restlessness.
Overview[]
This spell allows witches to time travel through astral projection, allowing them to witness past events relevant to a restless spirit but not be able to interact nor change the timeline.
The witch is surrounded by a whirlwind of black smoke and blue light and disappears in a puff of blue smoke.
History[]
In "Kappa Spirit", after realizing that the "new" sorority pledge was in fact dead and was haunting the Kappa sisterhood, Maggie Vera convinced her sister, Mel Vera, to help her. Using this spell, Mel and Maggie are teleported to 1989 where they witnessed Brenda being publicly humiliated.
They also saw their mother, who was having a discussion about her baby, Macy Vaughn, with a friend. Marisol Vera believed that there was something wrong with the baby, but the spell ended before either sister could learn more.

Trivia[]
- This is the first spell that the Charmed Ones use to time travel. Unlike in the original series, this spell only allows them to be spectators to past events and not able to change the timeline.
- In spite of the spell's entry claiming each spellcaster had up to ten minutes while time traveling (with two spellcasters being able to enjoy twenty minutes of time traveling), the sisters only got to enjoy about three to four minutes of time, before the spell ended and sent them back to their own time.
- However, this could be due to the fact that the specific event required to identify the spirit, had ended already, and there was no need to keep them in the past any longer.
- This spell's entry has broken English, implying that English was not the mother tongue of whoever added this spell to the book.
- In "Kappa Spirit", Mel and Maggie only used the second and third line to enact this spell. The first line was later used as a vanquishing spell for a revenant while the last line was going to be used as a vanquishing spell for a banshee.
- As they were going through the spell to vanquish a banshee, Maggie recited the line "Resolve tuum dolor" and Mel corrected her and said it was "... dolor-em". However, the official captions of the episode mistakenly had it as "dolor-um".
- Despite Mel and Maggie going back in time thirty years, Marisol Vera is shown to appear just as she did around the time of her murder rather than the much younger woman that she should have been in that time period.
