Pull of Evil
From the first season to the current one, the sisters and some of their innocents have felt the pull of evil. As Phoebe said in season four's episode Hell Hath No Fury, the blood lust from the pull of evil is so strong. And from most of the transformations that have happened, it takes hell of a lot of power or ryhme or reason to break that hold evil has on a being. We've seen this countless times. The following are some examples of the times that the sisters have encountered the pull of evil and the ways that they have thwarted it.
Recall, in season one, when Phoebe was possesed by the Woogyman (formally known as The Shadow). It first passed into a mortal to lure her down there...down into the basement. You see, it wanted Phoebe because she is connected to the house. When Patty gave birth to Phoebe many years ago, she was unable to make it to the hospital so she had to deliver Phoebe at Halliwell Manor. Being born in the house made Phoebe suspectible to evil, for the Nexus (a spiritual point equal distance from the five elements) contain the Woogyman...the evil entity. After the Woogy took control of Phoebe (she didn't give in so easily as you remember), she began to feel the pull of evil. Instead of a blood lust, the Woogy made Phoebe it's prime root. She was the one to stem out the possession from herself to other individuals. It corrupted not only those it came in contact with, but Halliwell Manor itself and some neighboring houses. Prue and Piper had to use (with the help of Phoebe's GOOD magical side) reason to sway Phoebe to turn on the Woogyman and recite the child-hood spell that Grams taught them many moons ago.
Another example extends from season one also. In The Wendigo episode, Piper Halliwell...who's the most innocent and kind sister...was attacked and scratched by a Wendigo. A Wendigo is a non-dead creature that roams the earth seeking out the good-hearted and eating their hearts out. This particular Wendigo after Piper, though, wants her for one reason and one reason only -- Piper's OB Negative blood. Problem is that Agent Falon (Wendigo in human form) didn't finish the job of killing Piper. And because of this fatal error, Piper turn into a Wendigo herself. To keep Piper from staying a Wendigo, Prue and Phoebe had to halt Piper's first kill by chain restraints and hunt down and destroy Agent Falon...the root of Piper's transformation with a good old fashion flare-gun. Killing Agent Falon reversed the transformation.
How about another possession. In season three's Coyote Piper episode, Piper Halliwell is possesed by a life essence named Terra. Terra didn't possess Piper for some physical attributes, but instead for her magical attributes. You see, Terra was created by an alchemist named Kierkan for his own pleasurable reasons, but she longed to be free. So she injected herself into a human in an effort of buying her some time until she reached one of The Charmed Ones to use them to kill Kierkan. She ended up in Piper because she was the first she came across. Terra's strange behavior as Piper and the alchemist's left over bottle tip Prue and Phoebe off to what was happening under their noses. But when the two sisters caught the thought-train, it didn't take them long to get Piper back. It just took a little rhyme and reasoning coupled with a little stabbing and possession swapping.
Though there are tons more, I'd like to end my examples with Paige's transformation into a vampire. Paige became bitten by a servant of the Queen Vampire. The bites didn't, at first, cause Paige any problems. It became apparent later on when Phoebe, Piper and Leo found Paige sleeping hanging from the ceiling that evil has seep into the youngest Halliwell. We come to find later that the Queen only wanted Paige as a vampire so that she could have Paige (one-third of the power of threee) on her side and go up against The "new" Source (Cole) with a fighting chance. But Cole had the knowledge of The Book of Shadows on his side and was able to listen to what the sisters read from the Book on vampires and use it against the Queen. You see, he found out that the death of the Queen killed all her clan and rid him of his problem. And it even saved Paige because she didn't get her first kill (she was ordered to kill Piper and Phoebe) and take the deal breaker of killing-and-not-going-back, which diminished the vampire evil in Paige like the Wendigo was stopped in Piper.
So as we can see from these examples, the sisters have been in the pull of evil and have overcome it. These victories can say alot about the sisters. It shows that they have great srength (for it must take it since they don't give in to evil), unlimited compassion (because demons and all evil things lack this) and last of all they have super-extreme powers. Wow! Really says something about those bad guys, too, now doesn't it (yeah, that they are lazy).
