It was revealed that siphoners begin to siphon magic from inside their mother's uterus, starting with feeding on very small, almost imperceptible amounts of magic at a time that will grow larger and larger as the pregnancy continues. In This Woman's Work, the birth of twin siphoners, Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, was shown for the first time. In the case of twins, there seem to be no indication that they both must be either Siphoners or regular witches, as evidenced by the existence of three sets of twins from the Gemini Coven - the twins Olivia and Lucas Parker were both born as regular witches, whereas their older twin siblings Josetteand Malachai Parker were born a regular witch and a Siphoner, respectively, and the twins Lizzie and Josie Saltzman were both born Siphoners. Their conception and birth appear to be the same as that of ordinary witches, given that many Siphoners do not know of their true nature until adolescence. Very little is known about Siphoners, especially with regards to how or why they came into existence. In 2014, the first Siphoner known to have been born of a Werewolf bloodline, Grace O'Connell Mikaelson, was born from the Original Hybrid, Niklaus Mikaelson, and in 2015, Lonndynne Mikaelson, was born to Dianna Mikaelson They appear to be rare and few in numbers although they are rather controversial because they have the potential to become witch-vampire hybrids.

They are considered abominations by many witch communities despite the fact that Siphoners are born with these abilities and may face harsh treatment by their covens when discovered. Siphoners, or Siphons, are a subsection of witches born without the ability to generate their own magic but do possess a rare power that allows them to siphon magic from other sources and use that magic for their own purposes. Freya Mikaelson discussing the powers of Siphoners The ability to draw one's magic from outside sources is something that I had never seen until they were born. I have been a practicing witch for over 10 centuries, and their powers are something I don't understand, I can't understand.
