The series begins when the three Halliwell sisters, Prue, Piper and Phoebe, come together again after their grandmother has died. They discover they are the descendants of a long line of witches and so they are forced to stay at the family manor in San Francisco. They each have different powers. Prudence Halliwell, the oldest sister, has the power of psychokinesis and astral projection. Piper, the second-oldest, has the power to change the speed of molecules in objects and people, creating the effect of freezing time (only for the frozen object) when she slows molecules, and the effect of explosion, when she speeds up the molecules. Phoebe, the third sister, has premonitions and the power to levitate; in addition, she is an empath. The sisters are referred to as the Charmed Ones because when they combine their powers, they can defeat almost all evil.
When Prue was killed, it was revealed that, in fact, there is a fourth sister, Paige Matthews. She has the power to "orb" in and out between planes, and to orb objects to herself or another place. She has the same mother, Patricia "Patty" Halliwell, as the other three, but her father was a white-lighter (one of a group of supernatural beings who provide guidance to good witches) who had an affair with Patricia Halliwell. Patty and the white-lighter gave her up for adoption, with the sole condition being that the adoptive parents give her a first name beginning with 'P'.
The sisters become romantically involved at different points in their lives. However, their magical skills and the need to keep them secret from the rest of the world puts them in a difficult position with respect to their lovers. Prue falls in love with Andy, a police investigator looking into unsolved and occult murders. Piper falls in love with Leo Wyatt, a white-lighter, but their affair is frustrated by Leo's bosses, the Elders. It takes some heavy persuading before Leo and Piper can get married. They remain married until he becomes an elder. Phoebe is fatally attracted to Cole Turner, the human half of the demon Balthazor who conspires to kill the Charmed Ones. Their relationship is intense but ultimately doomed.
