Chucky summoning Damballa.

Damballa is one of the most important of all the spirits in Voodoo. He is the Sky Father, and is considered to be the primordial creator of all life. 

Powers

There is an amulet in the Child's Play universe, known as the Heart of Damballa, that is capable of transferring living souls into different vessels. Damballa manifests himself as dark storm clouds, accompanied by powerful bolts of lightning.

It somehow came into the position of the serial killer, Charles Lee Ray. In 1988, he is fatally shot by the police. To escape death, he uses the power of the amulet to transfer his soul into the body of a Good Guy doll. However, the spell is flawed; Chucky is becoming human, and if he stays in the doll too long he will be stuck permanently. He also can only transfer his soul into the first person he revealed himself to.

In Bride of Chucky, Damballa is summoned by Tiffany to resurrect Chucky when she uses a spell found in the book "Voodoo For Dummies". In Seed of Chucky, animatronic doll versions of Chucky and Tiffany are resurrected by Glen using the Damballa amulet. Tiffany later uses the Damballa amulet to transfer her soul into Jennifer Tilly, and Glen and Glenda's souls into Jennifer's twin babies. Tiffany holds onto her doll body after the transfer.

In Cult of Chucky, another spell is found by Chucky on the website "VoodooForDummies.com". This allows him to break his soul into many pieces and transfer them into multiple vessels at once, while maintaining his original vessel. Tiffany also uses this new spell to repossess the Tiffany doll, and she can further possess other Wedding Belle dolls.

According to Kyle, this spell only allows Chucky to transfer his soul into identical vessels, that being Good Guy dolls. However, Chucky had also been able to transfer his soul into two humans, Alice and Nica. Although Nica is paraplegic, Chucky is able to stand and walk around when controlling Nica's body. But the spell is flawed with Nica, as both her and Chucky's souls occupy the same body. Whenever the body is hit in the head or catches the sight of blood, Nica is able to regain control and becomes paraplegic again.

In Season 1 of Chucky, Chucky learns another spell which allows him to possess an army of 72 Good Guy dolls simultaneously. In order to complete the spell, he must corrupt an innocent child and get them to kill for him. His first attempt at getting Jake to kill is unsuccessful, but after setting his sights on his cousin Junior, convinces the boy to kill his father. The moment Junior begins bludgeoning Logan to death, the 72 Good Guy dolls spring to life.

In Season 3 of Chucky, Chucky discovers that his vessel is aging as he is losing his hair and getting wrinkles under his eyes. He goes to a voodoo doctor, who explains to him that he has become infected with Christian magic, specifically Catholicism, as he was involved in an exorcism during Season 2. This has resulted in Damballa abandoning him, meaning he his current vessel will age and cause him to die as he can no longer possess other vessels. The only cure is a ritual that hasn't been attempted since the Crusades, which involves six people being sacrificed to Damballa inside of an evil house.

Tiffany also discovers a new spell in the Voodoo For Dummies book. By attaching a personal item to a voodoo doll, she can enchant the doll and gain control of her target's body. She used this spell to control Evelyn's movements forcing her to kill herself, and to brainwash Erica to aid in her escape from prison.
