   Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Willow's 10 Best Spells   
      
   Willow performed hundreds of spells during Buffy's seven seasons, and one   
   got more memorable and unbelievably powerful.   
      
   BY JELLA VIA ERH   
      
   Buffy The Vampire Slayer, had plenty of memorable and powerful characters   
   but without a doubt, Willow Rosenberg's transformation into the most   
   powerful witch of the universe beats all. While Willow started out in the   
   series as a shy and insecure girl who always doubted herself, she grew into   
   a powerful and confident woman. Her relationship with magic played a big   
   part in how her personality developed in both a positive and often in a   
   negative way.   
      
   She performed hundreds of spells during Buffy's seven seasons, and they got   
   more memorable and unbelievably powerful. While her spells became stronger   
   her personality also evolved and she quickly became one of the most complex,   
   interesting, and fan-favorite characters in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.   
      
      
   10   
   When She Accidentally Summons Vampire Willow   
      
   In season three, Anya is desperate to get back her demonic powers. As a last   
   resort, she's decided to ask Willow to help with her spell. While Anya told   
   Willow that the spell is to help her find something she lost, she doesn't   
   tell Willow the whole truth about who she really is and why she needs the   
   amulet back. The spell goes wrong, and they accidentally end up summoning   
   vampire Willow from another dimension.   
      
   While Willow was only a beginner witch at that time, it showed her   
   tremendous potential that her powers overthrown Anya's, who was already   
   practicing magic for thousands of years. It was also a memorable moment   
   since it was Willow's 'coming out' episode.   
      
      
   9   
   When She Altered Reality To Get Over Oz   
      
   After Oz left Willow, the heartbroken, now more powerful witch conjured a   
   spell that helped her alter reality without her realizing it. While it   
   caused many serious problems, it also led to some of the most hilarious   
   moments in the series.   
      
   The spell misfired and everything Willow said became a reality. Her words   
   caused Giles to become completely blind and made Xander turn into a demon   
   magnet which was both dangerous and laugh out loud funny. However, the   
   funniest and most memorable consequences of Willow's spell were that Buffy   
   and Spike fell deeply in love and even got engaged. Some viewers even   
   believed that Buffy and Spike's relationship started blooming because of   
   Willow's spell.   
      
      
   8   
   When She Helped Buffy Defeat Adam   
      
   One of the most powerful and important spells Willow ever did was an   
   enjoining spell. With the help of Xander and Giles Willow was able to summon   
   the First Slayer's spirit. Their enjoining spell was strong enough to   
   combine the essences and abilities of Sineya, the First Slayer, and Buffy.   
   The spell made Buffy strong enough to kill Adam.   
      
   While Willow didn't do this spell on her own it showed just how crucial her   
   abilities are. This was the first time in Buffy where the villain might not   
   have been defeated if not for Willow's unmatched magical abilities.   
      
      
   7   
   When She Restored Angel's Soul, Twice   
      
   Willow successfully performed the 'Ritual of Restoration' spell to restore   
   Angel's soul twice during the seven seasons.   
      
   The second time she carried out the spell while she was injured and sitting   
   in a hospital bed which proved she not only had remarkable magical powers   
   but great mental strength as well. While she was able to restore Angel's   
   soul it didn't save his life and Buffy had no other choice but to kill him.   
   However, most Buffy fans blame Xander for Angel's death and not Willow.   
      
      
   6   
   When She Erased Tara's Memory   
      
   Tara and Willow's relationship was built on mutual respect and love.   
   However, it took a toll on their relationship when Willow got addicted to   
   magic. Willow first used the 'Tabula Rasa' spell when they got into an   
   argument over Willow's overuse of magic.   
      
   When Tara figured out that Willow betrayed and lied to her they agreed that   
   Willow will have to go at least a week without using any magic. However,   
   Willow immediately changed her mind and while she tried to repeat the spell   
   she accidentally caused memory loss for the whole Scooby Gang. The spell   
   broke again when Xander stepped on Willow's crystal. While this spell was   
   the reason behind Tara and Willow's breakup, it was also the moment when   
   Willow realized that she has to stop misusing magic before it's too late.   
      
      
   5   
   When She Immobilized Glory   
      
   The first time fans saw Willow's true potentials when she was able to stop   
   Glory by using the "Thick air spell" she found in Gile's tome.   
      
   Up until that point, Glory seemed unstoppable. Glory was a goddess from a   
   hell dimension who seemed invincible even though she was stripped of most of   
   her powers because of her human form. This was a more complicated and   
   dangerous spell that involved calling upon five powerful deities.   
      
      
   4   
   When She Opened A Portal For Buffy   
      
   During season seven, Buffy had to jump through a portal that took her to an   
   unknown time in America where she met the original creators of the Slayer.   
   The only problem was that she had no way to get back. While the Scooby Gang   
   attempted a complex spell they failed. Then Willow tried to order unknown   
   forces to open the portal back up but despite being a powerful witch her   
   second try also failed.   
      
   As a last resort, she decided to drain energy from Kennedy and Anya. She   
   managed to successfully transfer their energy into the spell and finally was   
   able to open the portal again and save Buffy.   
      
      
   3   
   When She Revenged Tara's Death   
      
   Tara's death was Buffy The Vampire Slayers' most shocking and saddest death.   
   Her death caused so much pain for Willow that she lost all control and   
   turned into a dark witch or as fans called her 'Evil Willow' [also Darth   
   Willow]. She went on a rampage and used various powerful spells. Two of the   
   most memorable were when she cast a spell to Enhance her strength which   
   worked out perfectly. She became so strong, that she was able to flay Wallen   
   alive by only using her telekinetic power.   
      
   Then right after she cast a spell to end all suffering on earth by burning   
   it all down. Thankfully, Xander got to her in time and was able to change   
   her mind.   
      
      
   2   
   When She Resurrected Buffy   
      
   Willow's powers seemed unstoppable after she successfully used a   
   resurrection spell to bring Buffy back to life.
