That Old Black Magic Has Lost Its Charm

Helen to Quinn: “Maybe you can stay at Sandi’s . . . even if I have to call that witch, Linda.”
“Gifted”

Tad: “You're a mean old witch!”
Sandi: “I am not old!”
“I Love a Parade”


An interesting AU idea: What if Sandi and her mother really were witches? They can't be very nice ones. How would the Dariaverse have been different? Linda seems to have been very successful in life, but Sandi less so. Perhaps Sandi is just an inexperienced witch, prone to make mistakes and suffer spell backfires. Interesting possibilities for crossovers with Harry Potter, Bewitched, Charmed, etc. This idea has been tried only once, that I know of, and it is ripe for revisiting.
