No because orbing is a basic whitelighter ability. So, all witchlighters should have the ability to remote orb as their whitelighter side should be amplified by their witch side making it possible to orb things from a distance.
In the canon show the power is just orbing not a combination of orbing and telekinesis. I think people get more upset about others have the power because they use the fan definition of the power and not the show definition.
@Markie Dodd
They gave her away to mortals so they definitely bond her powers. Also her ability to orb only manifested when she was in danger which powers can naturally be unbound when high stress situations happen like near death experiences. If Prue was resurrected Paige would still have TKO as she was born with that ability. Prue and Paige don't even have the same ability. The only thing they have in common is they move things with their mind.
She unbinds her witch power just like Prue, Piper and Phoebe did. They bound her powers as they gave her to mortals to be adopted.
Considering Melinda had 3 separate abilities and her descendants were suppose to be stronger than her or at the very least as Stronger as her, I always expected each Warren witch Charmed or not to develop 3 separate powers.
Growing an ability should have come with practice and training not just simply because. Like Prue using Telekinesis to levitate herself should have been through practice not waking up one day I saying hey I can levitate. Now as far as a new ability I always thought it should have already been within them just dormant and needed to be triggered by something. For each power there should have been a different trigger.
Also if we are being honest Clairvoyance would fall under Temporal powers as they are time related. So Piper would develop that ability versus Phoebe with Telepathy.
I assume you mean out of Universe like the writing room. In universe her powers would have more than likely remained the same for 2 reasons. 1) all witches have active abilities 2) as a warren she could develop anyone of Melinda powers as Patty and Penny did. Paige never inherited Prue's powers as that is not how it works.
Out of Universe from a writing point of view more than likely her Thermokinesis whitelighter ability would have become Molecular combustion/Immobilization. Her sensing whitelighter ability would have become Premonition.
Rose and Holly are allowed to feel the way they want but it doesn't mean others can't call them out on their behavior. Also if you don't watch something yet claims it sucks you are being a hater no "ifs" "Ands" or "Buts" about it.
You don't have to be flat out racist to present a racist demeanor. Like I said both admitted to never watching the reboot yet claimed it suck. Why did they feel like it suck? The only 2 things they knew about the show was 1. it was a reboot and 2. the leads were WOC. That is like never going to a specific part of town and calling it the ghetto when the only two things you know about it is that 1. It is on the other side of town and 2. it has a lot of black people.
I am not saying they are racist but if a POC tells you they think you comment was offensive and racist instead of attacking them you think about what you said/did. acknowledge their complaint, apologize and explain your side. That is like someone telling you they feel sexually harassed by you touching them and you yelling at them that they are overreacting.
For me the reason HMC and RM aren't justified because both admitted to never watching the reboot. So either way they are being a hater or racist. Doesn't matter either way. I mean the only thing they know about the show if they never watched it was that it was a reboot that featured Woc. So when they said it sucked they clearly couldn't be talking about the execution of the show as they never watched it. So what sucked?
Elders and Whitelighters are the same species. Elders is a title that unlocks more potential of that of a whitelighter. Basically how Witches over time unlocks more power it is similar to Whitelighters and Elders. Think of it like this Piper having a child during Season 2 would not affect the power of the child if she had it during season 8 despite Piper being more powerful. Genetically speaking they hold similar potential.
Either way though the reason Wyatt is so powerful has nothing to do with Leo status at all. It was the day in which he was born and his connection to Excalibur. In reality is simply comes down to active powers. Strip both Wyatt and Chris of their active powers and the are equal in power.
Season 5 and 7.
Season 5
In light of defeating the source twice and the girls having down time I would have had Paige embrace her whitelighter side more and interact with the elders more in Season 5 to learn about the other half of her. Would have introduced Gideon and the Magic school in Season 5 with Paige apprenticing under him. I would have examined how her whitelighter side affects her witch side and how her witch side affects her whitelighter side.
With Phoebe had her empathic ability emerge due to the stress of losing a child and her Husband and sister within the same year. Had her throw herself into her work and find new love Still had Cole thing happen as it was. Probably would have introduced Coop this season to persuade Phoebe not to give up the good fight due to her waning faith. Also as far as her empathy power I would have only had it be able to sense and project emotions. No channeling others power or deflecting them that was just ridiculous.
I would have had Piper and Leo questioning their marriage and what they want in life. Would have had Piper divorce Leo and begin a new relationship. Also had her dealing with a "miscarriage" that throws her out of whack. In reality I would have had it be a false pregnancy implemented by the Avatars who I would have introduced as the big bad this season. Leo becomes an avatar and then conceives Wyatt with Piper.
Also no witchlighter for Chris or wyatt. Wyatt would be part Avatar and Chris simply would have been a witch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Season 7
Had Paige become head mistress of magic school appointed to her by the elders. Also the Elders consider making Paige an Elder as her whitelighter powers begin to evolve to whitelighter status abit with the witchy kick. Also had Paige meet Simon this season in which he is a witchlighter teacher at the school. Had him be her love interest.
With Phoebe I would have had her career growing. She now has a book deal, Movie deal, Tv Show deal, Talk show deal, etc. Had her be offered a job in New York that she thinks about taking. Her struggling with her charmed destiny and her dreams. I would have addressed show in the beginning she was excited to be a witch because she hadn't seen all the downsides yet and she didn't have much going on in her personal life but now she has a great relationship and a viable career.
With Piper had her and Leo reconciling their relationship. Piper thinking about opening her restaurant and dealing with two magical children.
That is true so I don't understand why people are shocked when people can "learn" astral projection. All your doing is learning the spell.
There was a spell in the earlier seasons for Astral Projection. It makes sense it can be learned via spellcraft.
Phoebe Empathic ability was the most powerful as it allowed her to access other powers and use them. Paige had a lot of abilities too that simply were underutilized.
What made Charmed so good was the balance between Mudane and Magical. The later seasons are what made Charmed memorable. They need a plethora of Supernatural creatures/beings to keep the show interesting and fresh otherwise it would be another forgotten witch show. Also they need to kept the selfish side of the girls otherwise the show would lose its relate ability. It was that part that showed their human nature which was nice and realistic. The writers didn't make the sisters Mary sues and made them more Three dimensional. The writers showed their good sides and their bad sides making them great characters. They also focused on great issues like:
Abusive relationships
Work alcoholics
Finding yourself
Wanting to have kids/family
Parenting
finding love
Marriage troubles
etc
They should 100% keep the whitelighters, Darklighters and other supernatural creatures. They could have easily incorporated them in the series, especially on the CW which are targets to a younger crowd. Meaning Sex, love and stupid drama sells. even with Supernatural if the two leading actors weren't hot I doubt it would be going into its 14th season. Like they could did 4 sisters the eldest three being the Charmed ones and the younger Half sister being a whitelighter in training. The Eldest could have had Telekinesis, the Second oldest Time Stop and the 3rd Oldest Clairvoyance with the younger half sister having Telepathy as a whitelighter.
Projection which is Reality warping. It was the power Wyatt and Billie had.
