You're not a witch and you don't have any special powers. But you are given the power to cast just one spell. It can't be the spell to invoke the Power of Three or call a witch's powers; nothing that would grant you permanent magic. Which spell do you choose?
Note: the poll is only a handful of suggestions to get the ball rolling.

Interesting question. Need to think more on this.

So right away, I eliminated the truth spell, summon the dead spell, and move forward in time and then back. I figure if there's something I'd only know by casting a truth spell, I'm probably not meant to know it. A summon the dead spell would be too emotional for me to handle. And I'd be afraid of what I'd find in the future. I'd rather not know if something bad happens before it actually does.
I'd be tempted to cast either the smart spell or fearless spell, either to figure out how to get a better job than I have now or to not be afraid to do things like interviews for positions I'm too scared to go after right now. But going from the show, the smart spell only lasted for 24 hours, and the fearless spell seemed like it would just make me take it way too far, so I'm going to eliminate those as well.
I don't have much use for the lost and found one. I could think of a few political leaders of my country that I'd love to send to Timbuktu, but that wouldn't be permanent, or someone else equally unliked by me could just take their places.
I would get so much done with a triple clone spell. And if I'm remembering correctly from the show, that would last as long as I needed the clones, right? But then there's the matter of having two extra people around, and not only would they eat all my food, but I don't live alone and I couldn't hide that very well.
I'm having a hard time deciding between the last two. The give me a sign spell would be a great guide to have, but I'm fascinated with the idea of past lives, and I don't know if I could turn down that kind of adventure. But if I found out that my past life was super boring, like me just living on a farm somewhere and doing chores all day, it would be a wasted spell.
So I guess I'll go with give me a sign. It would help me figure out some things in my life that I can't figure out on my own.

That's such a good point, Elle! How disappointing would it be to find out your past life was super dull after using your one spell.
Thinking about it, the clones were a little strange. They'd exist as long as they were needed but if they died, not only would you feel it, their bodies would still be around and potentially get you caught out by police. Even if they couldn't fulfill their purpose, they wouldn't vanish until the whole situation was resolved. (I know it was necessary for the drama but it's a pretty big flaw in the spell.)

I didn't even think about the clones dying and then their bodies not disappearing. There's no way I'd deal with that.
Any time past lives are mentioned in connection with this show, I always think of Phoebe getting to go back in time and have her powers in the speakeasy environment, and all the excitement that happened with that. But yeah, I'd hate to have those kinds of expectations and find my past self tied down with 10 kids or working in a mine or something.

The clones stay as long as their needed so as long as they don't die I could just always need them. I could literally have more than 1 job and we could just switch who works where and such I'd have a lot of money. A question though do the clones have to eat and stuff?

I like your point about the money. As long as they lived with me, it wouldn't cost too much more to keep them around, so I would make more money than I do now. I would guess the clones do have to eat, sleep, etc. We didn't see it, but we can assume that since the one Prue was eating at the restaurant and that they all took showers in the morning and used up all the hot water that they would act just like any other human would. |

Smart spell would be handy but my heart would love the summon the dead so I can talk to my loved ones on the other side. However I feel it would emotionally drain me.

I voted truth spell. I feel I'm surrounded by a lot of fake people who wear a smile so it would be nice to know what people really think. It'd be confronting yes but I am horrible at sensing people's real intentions. I'm either Prue where I'm too rigid in trusting them or I'm too optimistic and believe in them too much which I don't know which sister that would be.
