Shrinking is the magical ability to make objects or beings turn smaller in physical size.
Overview
Typically the target is shrunk to only a few inches in size, though the exact mechanics of this ability are unknown. The power usually shrinks someone down to doll size. A genie can manipulate their own size, shrinking and expanding at will[1], while others can generally change the sizes of others.
When a magical being is shrunken, their individual magic is also weakened and they can be easily killed.
Examples
- Gammill owned a wand that would shrink his victims so he could add them to his collection. Once shrunk, the target also has the strength of their powers reduced.[2]
- Genies shrink themselves when they remain inside their bottles.[3]
- Wyatt Halliwell once shrank his parents and trapped them inside the Halliwell manor doll house to keep them safe from Zankou.[4]
- When fairies use their fairy dust to turn other beings into fairies, they are magically shrunk during the transformation.[5]
- Savard shrank the Charmed Ones and trapped them in the doll house to channel their magic.[6]
- Billie Jenkins altered the spell to swap powers to switching bodies and made Pilar, Phoenix, and Patra swap places with Piper, Phoebe, and Paige.[6]
