Cupid-Witch powers

[charmedhybrid]

I don't know if I have this in the right area or not. I am working on a charmed fanfiction but mine takes place after Wyatt and his cousins have grown up and had kids off their own. I am having problem with coming up with some powers for some of the cupid kids and i am hoping y'all can help me or point me in the right direction please and thank yall

Topics like these should be in the general area of fanfics, but it appears to be locked.

This fic doesn't have the Charmed Ones grandchildren, but it does have their kids so hopefully this could help: www.fanfiction.net/s/6659418/1/Blessed-Nine

Also you can search Fanfiction site for next generation fics and see which powers they came up with.

I would think you could do something like what the original writers did with Chris and Wyatt (as compared to Paige who was the only hybrid who was an exception to the rules, where she had a combined power, and only so she'd be different than Prue, a truly horrible idea, which the writers proved by letting Chris have the same form of TK as Prue as compared to what Paige had). Give the kids a power that is similar to one of the ones that the original Charmed Ones had (including in their past lives) while also letting them be able to heart or whatever you want to call their form of transportation. Had Paige had just that - just Prue's version of TK and the ability to orb - she would've been a much better character and we wouldn't be having these hybrid conversations which makes being a witch not as important as it should be. After all, the sisters, the most powerful witches ever, had a non-magical for a father and yet they were still 100% witch. No matter who was the father of the next generation (and this includes Paige...), they should've been 100% witches. Making her a hybrid with hybrid powers was the worst mistake the show made, and obviously the writers thought so, too, since neither Wyatt or Chris had any hybrid powers.

Cyma Thank you I will check it out

Esmeralda Wyatt had hybrid powers to as kid and adult. He had both Telekinetic Orbing and the Orb Shield. Chris also as a baby had Telekinetic Orbing but I think he out grew it and developed regular Telekinesis to show a difference in the brothers. Now I think them giving Melinda White lighter powers should not have happened. I think she should have been more like her mother and if anything give her very limited version of whitelighter powers

She wasn't saying that they (Wyatt and Chris) didn't have hybrid powers. She was saying they (including Paige) shouldn't have. They should have been witches and just that, because just being witches is pretty impressively powerful.

Since that isn't the case, hybrid powers are certainly fair game. I have a next generation series, so it does include powers for Phoebe's girls. Two of them can use the cupid transportation power. The youngest never will be able to do that. I meant to only give it to one of the girls, but I messed up, so that's not the case now. I will be dealing with it later. Anyway, the oldest girl (Ladybug) also has the ability to levitate (which will grow into flying, the reason I didn't plan for her to be able to use that transportation power). The middle girl is more in touch with her inner cupid (major matchmaker) and has empathy, but not the empathy her mom has. She cannot use others' powers, instead she is very in touch with their emotions to the point where she has had some splitting headaches around her family in a couple of episodes. For the youngest girl (who hasn't come into her powers yet, but when she does) she will have the ability to "heart" into a premonition. She has some ability to move around and explore things a bit (I have no plans to give her any other powers, since this pretty impressive by itself . . . in my opinion). Obviously nothing she does in a premonition will stick and she cannot interact with anyone in the premonition. She's still just an observer (usually, but that's a long story and it will be a long time before I tell it).

These are just the powers I have in my story. As Es said, you could combine any power with any cupid power to make a new one. Cupids do have empathy (which is why I gave the middle girl that). They have limited time travel abilities (I don't know much about this, but I do know it is to follow love). They have the ability to influence emotions and make people calm down (or get angrier). They can plant suggestions. They also have to rely on their rings a lot. I have plans to give the middle girl more powers when used with a cupid ring (she's the only one I plan to give a ring to of the three girls), powers only useable when she is wearing the ring. Without it she can only use her empathy and teleportation.

Some possible combination to consider: Their powers come from their emotions, so what if one of them had a form of empathy where their powers reacted to the emotions of those around them. It would be a major obstacle to get around when someone near them is depressed or angry and out of control, but learning to direct this power, they could maybe gain increased power from a confident ally (or even a confident enemy). Mix this with any witch power, especially one seen in the Halliwell line. Maybe she can "freeze time" and the better mood those around her, the longer she can do it. Wyatt has a forcefield, what about a forcefield that protects people's emotions. Wrap them up in hearts and no one can alter their mood or their emotional state. Stuff like that. Get creative. Check out "Heartbreak City" in season two for some good ideas about what cupids can do and the second half of season eight as well. Don't stick to just one power for all characters. Mix it up or it gets really boring (at least it does until they get into a situation where none of them have an ability that will work and they have to use their brains rather than their powers).

Hope that helps.
