Had Piper or Phoebe died instead of Prue then the P03 wouldn't be reconstituted obviously if Paige was born with telekinesis as the other power whichever one was lost wouldn't be there unless the sisters had another long relative who possessed that then to. That's exactly why I think that Paige just "inherited" Prue's power when she died. How is it possible that the Power of Three couldn't be reconstituted because Paige had telekinesis from birth? I don't buy it. It's more logical that she just got the missing power. The only potential they needed to have was being a witch descended from Melinda Warren and having two sisters (Well, three in this case)

It's illogical that she just got the missing power; it's more logical that her powers were just unbound when she met Piper and Phoebe. In order to possess Charmed-potential, they needed to be three sister-witches with three Warren powers. Being Charmed didn't cause them to have their powers, as they had them long before the Po3. The Charmed Po3 couldn't be reconstituted with Paige if any witch other than Prue died; they could probably still create a Po3, but they wouldn't be the Charmed Ones. Everyone here is saying all witches are born with their powers, save for Paige, because she wasn't seen as being a part of some prophecy. I find that to be little illogical. Witches are born with their powers, thus Paige was born with her powers. No prophecy, Po3 bond would've robbed her of her witch magic.

One sister died, and when she became a part of the Power of Three she got that power, it's not illogical at all. Maybe Prue and Piper were born with those powers before they were Charmed because they were destined to become the Charmed Ones! That's what I meant when I said that they have the power because they're the Charmed Ones, I'm sorry because I didn't make myself clear with that. And that's why I think that Paige wasn't meant to have a witch power unless one of he sisters died. It's just like in the comics, when the Elders say that the only way that Piper's kids would be able to use the Power of Three is if there's a time of great need. So, when Prue died, the remaining Charmed Ones couldn't use the Power of Three, and it was a time of grea need, so Paige was able to step in. Not all witches are born with powers, look at Aviva, she was given a power. Now, I'm not saying that Paige wasn't a witch, just that she wasn't meant to have powers unless something happened to one of her sisters.

Yes it is debatable whether Paige was born with telekinesis or not or as some people might think just born with the potential to be a charmed one who got Prue's missing power when she died which we can all feel different about and voice our opinions etc
Trouble is when Paige was introduced we never really got to know her well enough to find out about this 'cause the writers wanted us to except her too quickly instead of doing so overtime which I would've prefered then plus season 4 was the time when things started getting contradicted in that what you knew before then was completely thrown out the window now like how humans could see ghosts for e.g. so you never really knew what to believe sometimes.
I wished Piper or Phoebe had enquired about this when them and Paige met and found out whether Paige was born with her powers or got Prue's missing one when she died so that we got a definative explaination and knew once and for all about it than just leaving viewers questioning things etc.

She didn't inherit Prue's power. She was born with her power; all witches are born with their powers.

Not all witches are born with powers, look at Aviva, she was given a power. Now, I'm not saying that Paige wasn't a witch, just that she wasn't meant to have powers unless something happened to one of her sisters. Except, I don't think her just becoming a part of the Po3 would give her the missing power. I think her becoming a part of it just awakened her dormant powers, like it did her with her sisters. Their powers were active and when she became the third member, her powers became active. I don't think she would need a power/specific power in order to form a Power of Three with her sisters, but she would need the missing power in order to help recreate the Charmed Ones. They were all destined to become the Charmed Ones; if Paige didn't share in that destiny she couldn't take Prue's place. The same logic that applied to the first three applied to Paige as well; if they naturally had the potential to be Charmed, then that would mean that they would naturally have a Warren power. Paige naturally had the potential as well, so she would naturally have a Warren power. Aviva's powers probably hadn't manifested at that time. Of course, witches can be given powers. I'm just saying that Paige naturally had to possess the missing power, otherwise she'd just be channeling the original Po3. She, Piper, and Phoebe created a Po3 that was separate from the original, as seen in the comics; one with Prue, and one with Paige. Her not being a Charmed One wouldn't have robbed her of any potential powers; Melinda foresaw the Charmed Ones having those powers, but that doesn't mean those powers were specifically reserved for those three. There's really no reason why Paige wouldn't have a power of her own. Being Charmed indicated that they would have those powers, but having those powers didn't necessarily mean they were Charmed, just that they had the potential.

Paige power of telekinesis would exist rather charmed or not. Just as Patty and Penny were born with active powers, so would Paige. All witches are born with active powers. Why wouldn't Paige be?
Christty was born with Pyrokinesis and then later developed Telepathy.
Max was born with Psychokinesis.
Billie was born with Telekinesis and developed Projection.
The Evil Enchantres was born with the power to conjure the elements.
Penny was born with Telekinesis and she was more powerful than Prue.
Patty was born with Immobilization.
P. Bowel was born with Cryokinesis.
There has never been witch born without an active ability. Paige still would posses Telekinetic Orbing even if she wasn't charmed. It was also stated that they bound Paiges powers to hide her from the elders.

Paige's ability was similar to telekinesis - namely moving things with one's mind. Only in her case, it was called teleportation. By the way, Paige had this ability before she became a Charmed One. This was confirmed in Season 4's "A Paige From the Past". Paige's orbing teleki . . . what or teleporting saved her from being killed or harmed in the same car crash that killed her adoptive parents.

Her witch powers were bound but her whitelighters ones weren't like orbing. That is what saved Paige. I do agree she was born with them though. Also her power was called calling not teleportation. In reality it was telekinetic orbing. Moving things with orbs. She moved the leprechaun stick with orbs and made it bounce. She just rarely uses it that way as simply teleporting them from one location to another is more effective.

The idea that the Whitelighters gave witches their secondary powers is such a turn off to me. I hate the idea that the whitelighters have this much control over their lives. And I cannot help but wonder what in the hell Connie Burge and Brad Kern were thinking. I get the idea that deep down, those two had a major dislike of the idea of free will. Or perhaps they still do. There are so many hints of this kind of thinking in the story lines for this series. The creation of whitelighters, Leo's negative response to the idea of free will, that idiotic council of whitelighters and demons that Phoebe had to answer to and that ludicrous "48 Hours Window of Opportunity" rule. I thought whitelighters were supposed to be guardian angels for witches. That idea was first introduced back in Season One. Why did Burge and Kern believe it was important to give whitelighters more power over witches? Whitelighters giving witches their secondary powers. No wonder I had left that crap out of my fan fiction stories. Talk about bad writing.According to the show, Melinda had the ability to move objects with her mind. In her case, along with Grams, Prue and Chris, this ability came in the form of telekinesis. In the case of Paige, it seemed to come in the form of teleportation. Interesting point, and I agree. I hate the idea of the Elders having such power over the Charmed Ones powers like such, as well. To the OP's point, I think I agree with that concept that Paige ALWAYS had it just never really used it.

No, I don’t, for reasons I went into on another thread: I don’t see why Paige wouldn’t be able to help reconstitute the Charmed Ones had Piper or Phoebe died instead of Prue. They’d still be three sisters, three witches. Would she have gotten the power to freeze time or get premonitions? Probably not, but then, I’m not convinced she ever actually inherited Prue’s power. Let me explain. I think people are getting hung up on Melinda Warren’s prophecy. For the record, this is what she actually said: "You may kill me, but you cannot kill my kind. With each generation, the Warren line will grow stronger and stronger — culminating in the arrival of three sisters. Together, these three sisters will be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. They will be good witches and vanquish all kinds of evil. They will be known as the Charmed Ones." If you’ll notice, it does not say anything about specific powers. Yes, the original Charmed Ones each getting one of her powers - the first time all three had appeared in the same generation since Melinda herself - was a sign that they were, indeed, the prophesied sisters. But Melinda was being burned at the stake when she said that prophecy, so she probably wasn’t terribly concerned with figuring out what might happen to a potential replacement for one of the trio. Frankly, it might not even have been a prophecy, as such, so much as her remembering what Charlotte told her about the witches from the future that had come back to help her be born safely. And if that’s the case, then anything that happened after their trip back in time wouldn’t apply. Melinda didn’t know anything about Paige because the Charmed Ones themselves didn’t know about her at that point. What does this have to do with my belief that she didn’t inherit Prue’s powers? Well, think about it: when did we ever see Paige do anything with her powers that any whitelighter couldn’t do? Orbing something from one place to another? That’s just remote orbing. We never saw the other whitelighters using that ability offensively because they’re pacifists. Now, you may be saying to yourself, “but weren’t there instances where we saw Paige using regular telekinesis, no orb sfx to be seen?” To which I’d say, “remember the season 1 episode (I think it was Wicca Envy, or something like that) where we saw Leo searching the attic for the Book of Shadows? He was opening and closing drawers and trunks with telekinesis.” Piper and Phoebe simply assumed that Paige inherited Prue’s power after the Charmed Ones had been reconstituted, because they didn’t know any better. (It wasn’t like the situation had ever come up before, after all.) It’s also worth noting that any advancement Paige gets in her powers are all whitelighter-related. She’s never able to astral project, she can’t create attic-destroying shockwaves like Prue did in that future episode… Nothing like that.
