If Melinda's ghost was summoned again, would she had accepted Paige, Wyatt and Chris into her legacy? Since they're not true Warren witches only half Warren

Paige is the daughter of a Warren witch and Wyatt and Chris are sons of a Warren witch, how are they not true Warren? Using that logic Prue, Piper and Phoebe aren't true Warren either since they're part human.

Two male successors in a matriarchal dominated line of witches. Their inherent Whitelighter affinities and obligations lessening their commitment aren't helping their stature. As it is, Paige is frequently perceived as being more Whitelighter than witch. So tell me why Melinda should not express concern over her witch linage being steered off course so drastically? Her entire family is technically human. They aren't a different biological species. The magical nature of their blood is what separates them from conventional human beings. So the comparison made to humans doesn't really seem too good.

Well regardless, I'm not seeing why she would have a problem with it, they're still witches with witch powers and abilities. And Paige married a human, so in her case her line's whitelighter blood will get more and more diluted meaning in a few generations time they probably wouldn't even have whitelighter powers.

And Paige married a human, so in her case her line's whitelighter blood will get more and more diluted meaning in a few generations time they probably wouldn't even have whitelighter powers. I don't look at it that way at all. The Charmed Ones' blood was diluted by how many generations of non-magical blood (the non-magicals the Warren women married) and yet the sisters are still full witches - the most powerful witches ever. In the same way, Paige's kids would be just as much witchlighters as Piper's and all of her descendants would be just as much witchlighters as Piper's no matter what any of them married. Marrying someone different might dilute the blood, but it doesn't dilute the powers at all. Witchighters are not truly whitelighers because they're still alive. They are witches with whitelighter powers. And as long as the mother has those powers she can pass them to her kids - fully - no matter who the father is. That's the mythology of Charmed - anything else is just fanon.

I think Melinda Warren would've accepted them as her descendants, but would feel they corrupted her line by not being pure witch - probably why she saw her line continuing through Phoebe with a long line of strong women. Which might mean that she *did* see Paige, Wyatt and Chris n the future, but just didn't accept them as Charmed as she did Phoebe's daughters, granddaughters, etc.., the only uncorrupted line.

But Phoebe's daughters are half-cupid? If she wouldn't accept whitelighters then why would she accept cupids?

But Phoebe's daughters are half-cupid? If she wouldn't accept whitelighters then why would she accept cupids? Because I don't think the power of cupids would corrupt the line the way men and a half-whitelighter whose power corrupted Melinda's power to move things with her mind - making it much more weaker than Prue's where Paige actually had to summon stuff - did. I don't think Phoebe's daughters' powers would be exactly like Melinda Warren's, not cupid-affected, the way Paige's was. Remember - it's magic, not blood that is important in the Warren line, so the fact that their father is a cupid doesn't matter - if it did, the Charmed Ones wouldn't be the most powerful witches ever because their blood would be so diluted by non-magicals. If Paige's power was exactly like Prue's - exactly like Melinda Warren's - that would be different. And Wyatt is a proof that Warren magic can be corrupted by males. I should add that she'd probably feel the same way if she knew about the 20's cousins - that they were her descendants but not part of legacy since they had corrupted her magic - another proof that she's not racist - but she didn't see them, and in this we're just saying she saw Paige, Wyatt and Chris.

I think she would have. Sure, there are differences to her understanding as witches, yet a family can only grow with being up to date, and that includes male witches and hybrids.

They are humans . . . PERIOD. They are human beings with the gift to perform magic. Paige, Wyatt and Chris are part human and part whitelighter (daemon).
I don't understand this comment. Why wouldn't the power of cupids corrupt? Because they are the impediments of love? Love can corrupt.

They are humans with magic gifts and Paige, Wyatt and Chris with also some whitelighter traits Cole is genetically human and demon, able to be one or the other of his phenotypes No one knows what a Cupid was, except that he lives a long time and has a magic ring Penny had prejudices against male witches, Melinda didn't even if her bad experience qith Matthew

Ohh thank you I am so full of half...half demon, half whitelighter, half cupid, even if it's no clear what is a cupid, but neverit's said half wicth
Better a witch with whitelighter's powers!
"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely ": Lord Acton's statement is very present in Charmed, there is not a good power and a bad power, there are good and bad ways to use the power and even the Cupids ring which'ld spread love could be used in a wicked way
Warren line is an offspring of humans with special powers, a power that manifested itself in the women of the family and that at some point it has become part of the male of the family also, but the idea that males aren't able to manage the power of the witch is just a Gram's opinion
