References to the Original Charmed[]

  • Vivienne acquired magic through technological means, which made her extremely powerful and dangerous. In the original series, the first mortal to gain magic was Dr. Curtis Williamson, who received the powers of the Charmed Ones when their blood was accidentally injected into his system.
  • The Charmed Ones overloading the glove with the Power of Three was similar to Leo overloading Lord Dyson with rage.
  • The contamination of the black amber led to a virus, which affected all members of the magical community. This was the plot of the episode "Hulkus Pocus", in the original series, in which a Virus, created by the American government in an attempt to grant demonic powers to human soldiers, begins infecting members of the magical community.
  • The list Harry looked through included a golem, a Nymph, a Harpie, a Giant, a Manticore, and a Succubus. These are creatures that have appeared at least once in the original series.
