The Charmed Ones going through Witchness Protection.
The Witchness Protection Program is a security measure created by the Elders to protect witches in grave danger.
Overview[]
When a witch is in grave danger, they can escape through a portal to the Command Center where their auras are stripped, removing all but their basic powers to cast spells and brew magical potions. By becoming nearly powerless, they are unable to be tracked by enemies. The witch in the program can then start their life anew.
In order for the portal to the Command Center to be opened, the witch's own book of magic needs to be harmed, either by being stabbed or completely destroyed. It appears that the portal opens only when the cover of the book is harmed or if the book is damaged beyond repair, as simply a torn page won't open it.
Under normal circumstances, once the witch in protection has their powers removed, they would be given a special marble that would allow said witch to return to the Command Center and restore their powers in case they wanted to return to service.
History[]
In "Safe Space", the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones were overwhelmed by Jimmy's attack. He destroyed their Book of Shadows, which opened a portal to the Command Center. The sisters jumped through and landed in a tunnel that stripped them of their powers and auras. Because the program was designed to strip witch powers, Macy Vaughn was able to retain her demonic powers. Their house also went through the portal and found its way to a vacant spot in Seattle. As a precaution, it was cloaked and protected from magical tracking and the naked eye.
In "Unveiled", during a flashback taking place at some point in 2014-2015, Ruby Malone and her mother were forced to enter the program when they were attacked by Ruby's demonic stepfather, Earl. Seeing no other choice as not to live looking over their shoulders, Patricia stabbed a book with an unknown dagger and they both escaped through the portal.

Trivia[]
- The term "witchness protection" was an episode title of the original series. In that case though, it referred to the witness protection that the Charmed Ones provided to the demonic seer, Kyra, who was targeted by other demons because she wished to defect in light of the upcoming of the Avatars.
