* EldritchLocation: It's revealed by Leo that the underworld and Up There are not physical locations but constructs of magic that are merely an echo of the mortal world. One of the advantages is that the enviromental magic sustains physical beings, ensuring that the PowerTrio and especially Phoebe doesn't starve to death. And at least in the Underworld, it's impossible to keep track of time unless one has Whitelighter sensing powers.

'''''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12874467/chapters/29408481 The Last Charmed One]]''''' is a ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' ForWantOfANail fan fic.

The fic is an AlternateUniverseFic set in the aftermath of the [[Recap/CharmedS3E22AllHellBreaksLoose Season 3 finale]] , except that Cole, Phoebe and Leo get stuck in the underworld and are unable to arrive in time to save either Prue or Piper who both die at Shack's hands.

!!''The Last Charmed One'' contains examples of the following tropes:
------
* ActionGirl: While initially in shock due to her sisters' deaths, Phoebe quickly recovers as she, Leo and Cole are under constant demon attack.
* TheBadGuyWins: The fic premise is that the Source's plan works as designed, unlike in canon.
* BlackMagic: The powers of evil itself, permeates all of the underworld and its denizens. [[spoiler:The Warren witches also practise some forms of it]].
** BloodMagic: Practised by demons. [[spoiler:Leo freely gives away his blood to a demon as part of a bargain to get a dragon bone]].
*** {{Necromancy}}. All blood-to-blood summonings are this, [[spoiler:and Leo is shocked that the Charmed Ones used such a dark spell to [[Recap/CharmedS1E9TheWitchIsBack summon Melinda Warren]] once or that it's in the Warren Book of Shadows in the first place]].
* TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn: Subverted. Phoebe throws a sword at a demon that's strangling Leo, but it's the hilt that hits the demon's head. However it distracts the demon long enough for Leo to grab the sword and vanquish him with it.
* CanonFodder: Phoebe, Cole and Leo spend [[spoiler:a month]] vanquishing low-ranking demons.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Phoebe decides to tap into the power of the Summer Solestice, whose power comes from the people's belief and also the symbolism of light triumphing over darkness.
* CoolSword: Leo gets one early in the fic, and Cole claims its cursed. Phoebe also steals a knife cursed with a strength-draining spell.
* DespairEventHorizon: Initially Phoebe, until anger takes over. [[spoiler:On the other hand Leo falls deep into it's pit when he starts losing his whitelighter powers]].
* EldritchLocation: It's revealed by Leo that the underworld and Up There are not physical locations but constructs of magic that are merely an echo of the mortal world. One of the advantages is that the enviromental magic sustains physical beings, ensuring that ThePowerTrio and especially Phoebe doesn't starve to death.
* FightsLikeANormal: Phoebe, due to not having active powers.
* FunctionalMagic: Like in canon, the fic deploys most forms of magic including:
** [[ReligionIsMagic Theurgy]]: Phoebe taps into the power of the summer god and the mother goddes under the summer solestice in a [[spoiler:failed attempt to vanquish the Source]].
** WhiteMagic: Whitelighter powers and Wiccan spells to [[HolyBurnsEvil vanquish demons]].
** BlackMagic: Practised by demons, warlocks and other evil creatures [[spoiler:and the Warren family witches]].
* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler:The fact that the Warren Book of Shadows has spells of necromancy in it proves that the Warren witches are willing to fight dirty]].
* {{Hell}}: The Underworld, where the trio is trapped by the Source's seal.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A demon by Leo's curtesy.
* MacGuffin: The skull Phoebe steals from a vanquished low-ranking demon.
* MagicalIncantation: As the best spellwritting Charmed One, Phoebe is able to invent spells in the fly. However, stress, danger and being under attack makes it hard for her to engage in spell crafting.
* NoSell: Wards and protection spells can't stop The Source, nor can spells pierce through wards created by it.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: With a simple spell Phoebe, without access to the Power of Three, vanquishes twelve demons simultaneously.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After vanquishing a demon for the first time with a sword, Leo's face contorts into a hateful sneer.
* {{Poltergeist}}: There are many types, including healing poltergeists and demonic ones. The ones in the underworld are enormous, feed by the BlackMagic practised by demons. [[spoiler:Phoebe tries to use a ritual to channel a demonic poltergeist power into a dragon bone to use to kill the Source. However the spirit's power is too great and the bone is destroyed during the ritual]].
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Because of Piper's death, Leo loses his love-powered ability to heal]].
* ThePowerOfLove:[[spoiler:Leo can't use it after Piper died]]
* {{Plunder}}: Phoebe loots vanquished demons, mostly athames and knives and sometimes a few MagicWand which are useless as it requires a demon's touch to activate.
* RealityEnsues: It's impossible for Phoebe to try to invent and try to cast a new spell while fending off constant demon attacks.
* TechnicalPacifist: As a Whitelighter, Leo is not supposed to vanquish demons but being trapped in the underworld, he has no other choice.
* TeleportInterdiction: The Source puts some sort of ward over the underworld, preventing ThePowerTrio from orbing, shimmering or spellcasting back to Earth. They still can teleport into other parts of the underworld, just not out of it.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Warren Book of Shadows, [[spoiler:which also contains dark necromantic spells to summon ancestors and living relatives]]. It's implied that's the reason why evil beings want to steal it so much.
--> '''Cole''': I imagine if the saintly Elders knew that was in your Book of Shadows, they'd try to destroy it, and probably you along with it.
* UsefulNotes/{{Wicca}}: It seems that Phoebe actually does believe in Wicca, while in canon only witch practitioners did.
