Astral drops are a fictional power in the W.I.T.C.H. comics and animated series. The Drops are solid psychic copies of each of the Guardians, possessing some of their knowledge, and are most often used so that the absence of W.I.T.C.H. is not noticed by their parents and teachers when they go on missions. The duplicate disappear at the member's will, or when they say "Astral Drop". During the latter part of the third arc of the W.I.T.C.H. comics, the Astral Drops rebel against the girls, and they are forced to let them go away and have their own lives.
