Darklighter Poison is a green, bioluminescent sap with various magical properties that is produced from the leaves of the Black Amber Tree hidden beneath the Command Center. The sap was somehow obtained and manufactured into a type of poison to be utilized by Harry Greenwood's Darklighter, Jimmy, before he was vanquished and agents of the Faction before Vivienne Laurent's vanquish and the organization was shut down. Since then, the poison has presumably been kept securely within the leaves of the tree.
Overview[]
Since the beginning of time, there has grown a magical tree beneath the Command Center. The leaves from this tree produce a green substance that is capable of various magical feats. Somehow, the scientists of the Faction were able to manipulate these leaves into a poisonous substance that is fatal to witches. This poison can also cause pain to demon-witches, Whitelighters and Darklighters, but it does not cause them fatal damage. The color of this poison varies from turquoise to lime-green.
Aside from its poisonous effects, this mysterious green substance has several magical properties. Jimmy was able to appear to Macy Vaughn through her dreams after she had been shot by the poison.[1] Later, Harry Greenwood and his Darklighter were both able to communicate with one another through the use of the poison.[2] The Faction once held a private event in which they offered the poison in the form of small candies. Once ingested, the victims were placed in a deep trance to which a shaman used some type of ritual in order to absorb their life forces. This, combined with black amber, was successfully able to resurrect a deceased man.[3]

In "Breaking the Cycle", after passing the test to reveal their secrets, the Charmed Ones found a secret door that leads to the bowels of the Command Center. In the center grows a magic tree, whose leaves produce this green substance. This is the tree that was drawn in the Book of Elders in "The Rules of Engagement". The Charmed Ones concluded that the substance released by the magic leaves is the same substance that Jimmy used to kill witches, and unknown people used it to try to raise the corpse.

Powers and Abilities[]
- Telepathy: Through this substance, a person can enter the minds of those who are infected and form a psychic connection with them. After Macy was infected, she started hearing Jimmy speaking to her. This is presumably accomplished by the user through injecting or inhaling the poison themselves.
- Dream Walking: If the infected person becomes unconscious, the active user can enter their dreams. Harry Greenwood and his Darklighter learned to use this green substance to penetrate each other's dreams and those of other beings, as Jimmy did by entering Macy's dream while she was infected and unconscious. When Harry used the poison for this purpose, his veins were shown to turn green as he was caused severe pain before falling into a dream.
- Life Force Absorption: A shaman was able to use a ritual to absorb the life forces of nearly all of the patrons of a club through his staff after they had consumed candies made with the poison.
Trivia[]
- In the original series, the poison was created by Darklighters specifically to kill Whitelighters. Any Whitelighter and Whitelighter-Witch that was wounded by the poison was unable to heal themselves and their powers weakened as the poison killed them. In the reboot, Whitelighters and demon-witches are severely weakened and take weeks to heal before their powers are fully operative again, but the poison doesn't kill them. Instead, it is deadly to witches.
- It is currently unknown how the leaves from the Black Amber Tree were obtained by the Faction in order to be made into the poison, as the Command Center and thus the tree was inaccessible to them until "Someone's Going to Die" when Vivienne Laurent was finally able to break in using the siphoned powers of the Prism.
