Pixie dust is a magical pheromone resembling golden glitter that pixies use to spread whimsy and inspiration. It is a substance that is naturally generated by all pixies and released when pixies fly in their diminutive form.
Overview[]
The common purpose of pixie dust is to spread whimsy and inspiration upon others. However, if pixie dust is misused, it can also place a person into a state of high suggestibility, allowing them to be mind controlled. For example, when the woodland pixie Chloe's external heart was stolen by the mortal Zack, she was placed under his control and began using pixie dust on the white male students of Zack's class to put them into either dangerous or deadly situations, such as causing Judd to jump off the top of a building to his death and causing Parker Caine to skip through the street. She was even able to manipulate Harry Greenwood into breaking her out of a pixie trap and stealing the Book of Shadows.
It seems that empaths can break through this state, but this has been shown to leave the subject exhausted.
Witches and demons, as well as Whitelighter-witches, half-demons and demon-witches, are immune to the effects of pixie dust.
Trivia[]
- Apparently, pixie dust also has no effect on animals because the puppy's behavior in Chloe's arms has not changed in any way, and Parker also did not mention to Maggie that the dog was under any influence.
- Fairy dust in the original series had various enchanting effects, such as turning someone into a fairy or returning them to human form as well as provide assistance to undo petrification. Also, once this dust, almost like in the reboot, forced Prue and Phoebe Halliwell to return to a childlike state so that they could see the fairy princess.
