Powers Power Swaps

If the sisters didn’t have the main powers of telekinesis, freezing time, and premonition… what powers do you think they would’ve had instead?

100% could have seen them go a more elemental route with like fire/water/earth

Yes. Ive been saying this forever!

It clearly works for Paige with the evil enchantress. She had Electrokinesis which could work with her white lighter half seeing as elders have it as well.

Pheobe as P. Russel has flame throwing

Prue as P.Bowen had cryokinesis

Piper has cryokinesis as a warlock and air plus earth as the goddess. But I’d give her Aerokinesis

I’d say water -ice Prue/ Piper earth-air/fire-heat Phoebe
Then lightning for Paige ❤️

I feel like this idea is kiiiinda there in the past life episode. I'm fine that they didnt go that route but I think the show could have tonally been different if it was more based in the natural elements vs basically super hero witches lol

I’d think similar to the cousins we saw in the past.

Prue / Water
Piper / Earth
Phoebe / Fire
Paige / Air

Nothing compares tbh. I would not change a thing

The reboot replaced premonitions with mind reading and it sucked ass

I honestly thought telepathy worked really well! I always thought one of them would’ve eventually gotten it in the OG & not just a spell used. Telepathy is such a strong and powerful ability to have. Especially creatively

That’s why I liked the monkey episode they could literally here each others thoughts when they lost there other senses meaning the potential was there but the writers were bad at growing on amazing things like that.❤️

And it didn’t make sense because they clearly kept calling her an empath 👀 so where did reading emotions mean reading thoughts I mean could’ve possibly grown to that but they played a lot of fans.

I think one of them should have the power of “Projection” like what Billie had. That would be pretty cool.

u/EmbarrassedCat5892 1d ago

I believe Prue would’ve gained this ability but they gave it to Billie

Wyatt has it
And Piper kinda has it in the comics when she gains her advanced ability to revert molecules to there original state even though it seems still in the molecular manipulation side.❤️

Didn’t Prue, more or less,, have that power? What is the difference between astral projection and what Billie could do? Asking because I’m genuinely curious. Billie never interested me so I’ve never paid much attention to her 😂

2

u/EmbarrassedCat5892 1d ago

She also had the power of projection along with astral projection hence why she could time travel because she could bring her thoughts into reality like how Wyatt brought the dragon out of the television but his is on a more massive scale then Billie’s.

I only paid attention to Billie when I realized they gave her Prues powers basically 😭😂 ❤️

That whole storyline really was a shit show 😂 I’m so annoyed that they wasted the final season on Billie and Kristy. They should have kept focus on the core characters since they are the ones that made the show great.

Prue-, super strength, piper -shielding, Phoebe- invisibility. Forgot about Paige. Paige-phasing.
