Prue was in the middle of helping Xander cast the Sanctuary Ward spell and hadn't that been a surprise when he told her first learned about it from a human who ran a bar, a bar! for demon's. A place where they could drink yak bile and cow blood spritzers and play kitten poker. Which was poker using kittens instead of chips. Which the winners usually ate. Demons were weird. She was helping cast it when she suddenly felt dizzy and nearly collapsed. If it wasn't for Xander, she would have, as he caught her and lowered her onto a nearby couch. She bent over trying to get her head to stop spinning and wondered what the Hell was going on.

"Prue? What's wrong?" He asked. "Did the Magic backlash on you?"

"I don't know, something happened and now my head is spinning. Has that ever happened to you when you cast that spell?'

"No, I've cast it several times, on all my friends places and I've never had a problem, neither have they. Buffy and Faith, their abilities were created by Magic, but they're not magical themselves. Amy is, but she channels Hecate and she hasn't had any problems. I hope you're not coming down with something."

"Me either, I'm feeling better. What about the spell?"

"It's set, if he pops in and tries anything violent, the spell will knock him unconscious. Which will make it a whole lot easier to deal with him. Come on, let's go check on Piper and Leo." He helped her to her feet and the two of them made their way up the stairs to the attic were Piper was swearing a blue streak.

"Piper? What's wrong?" Prue asked, wondering if Leo had gotten worse.

"It's not working!"

"What's not working?" Prue asked.

"The damn spell, it's not working!"

"You cast a spell? What kind of spell?" Xander asked.

"Leo woke up for a minute or so. He managed to tell us there's a woman he's trying to protect from a darklighter, he managed to get her to San Francisco, but passed out again before he could tell us where he hid her, before he came here. I was looking through the Book trying to find a spell that might helps find her or something that could help Leo and I found a spell. Whitelighters can heal, but apparently not themselves, just others."

"What does the spell do?" Prue asked.

"It's a power switching spell, don't worry there's a reversal spell too. I switched mine and Leo's powers, which means I should be able to heal him. But it's not working!" She swore again and slammed her hand angrily on the floor by where she was sitting.

"Um, Piper," Xander said carefully. "don't take this the wrong way, but I think you forgot to take into account the fact that there's other people with powers in the house and the spell might not have been limited to just you and Leo."

"Like the truth spell I cast." Prue realized. "I thought it would just affect Andy, but it affected all of us who were in the house. We couldn't not tell each other the truth for 24 hours. So, you might not have Leo's powers, you might have mine or Phoebe's or Xander's."

"Oh, not mine." Xander said. "I don't have natural powers like you girls do, I have to draw Magic from outside myself. Right now I'm limited in the amount I can draw, but with time my limit will grow."

The two girls looked at him oddly. "Xander, we've seen you use your powers." Prue reminded. "What else do you call controlling Daryl or the Soul Collector?"

"Oh, I guess I haven't gotten around to explaining it. I told you Magic is why I look older than I actually I am. Well the Magic that did this to me remade my brain. I don't have powers, I have abilities, because my brain was rewired. I'm not a natural born witch like you guys are, so no powers to switch."

"Wow," Prue said. "When you said you'd been screwed over, you meant it. Rewiring your brain and now you can control people. No wonder it freaks you out. Magic is natural, of the world. What's been done to you, it's given you something that isn't natural."

"Exactly." Xander nodded. "So Piper, you might have Leo's power and just have to figure out how to use it. But you might have Prue's or Phoebe's too."

"And we might have each other's." Prue realized. "Four people with power and we could have ended up with any one of them. Okay." She waved her hand at the broom leaning against the wall and when nothing happened she squinted her eyes. "Well, that answers that question." She was getting upset, her power was her power, damnit!

"So that leaves Leo's healing power, Piper's freezing power or Phoebe's premonitions." Xander listed them off. "Phoebe's premonitions just happen, she can't control those and needs to touch something to get a vision. Try touching something, both of you." Both girls followed his suggestion and Prue gasped as she saw something.

"Okay, looks like I've got Phoebe's power because I just saw Piper casting the spell."

"So, that leaves Piper and Phoebe to figure out how to work what they've got. Leo won't be able to do anything until he's healed anyway." Xander concluded as Cordelia and Phoebe arrived with the sandwiches Cordelia had prepared.

And that's when Murphy decided he'd like to try to lighten the atmosphere with a giggle. Only he was the only one laughing as Cordelia fumbled one of the plates she was trying to carry and it started to fall. With a cry, she reached for it in the vain hope of catching it.

Which is when it froze and hung in mid air in front of five startled people.
