Something Wicca This Way Goes

[linamorgana]

Why did Prue teach Leo how to astral project and not her sisters? I get that she was protective of it and that Leo was their whitelighter but it really didn't make sense to teach it to Leo for emergency use when he had a multitude of powers that would allow him to teleport and there were times when the sisters could've used it too.

Also how did they know there'd be a blast when they banished the nexus? For all they knew it could've dissipated or flown off like the Holo. There was literally no reason to think that a demon/nexus blast would take them all out. Especially seeing as how the most a big blast had ever done to them at that point was knock them over. It was THAT assumption, backed by nothing else (no foreknowledge of what would happen in that situation) that forced them to prepare for their deaths, which actually seems like an overreaction now. I get that the blast WOULD have killed them had they not used astral projection, but they had no reason to think there would even have been a blast, OR that they couldn't orb out right after saying the spell. 

Also, why did Piper not leave Leo with anything??? He was a mortal and still had his identity as Leo Wyatt when they planned for their deaths. They didn't decide to glamor him into a new identity till last minute when they knew they had a chance of surviving. But HAD they died, he would have just been languishing and Victor would've got the house, P3, their bank accounts and presumably the boys (she gave him their schedules and power of attorney). Leo obviously was never supposed to die with them and was just waiting outside anxious about the girls.

If someone could explain some of this, that'd be great.

It again seemed like faulty writing, it would have made much more sense if Paige just orbed out since I don't know how they could just learn how to Astral Project since its a power. Its not like Piper could learn how to have a premonition or Phoebe learn how to do molecular combustion

Oh I understand they wanted to pay homage to Prue, because they thought this might have been the final episode. But the episode makes no sense dear with how can the sisters learn a power that was suppose to be Prue's. I don't like this one bet. 

[imdb lives on]

It worked better as a gift bestowed on a witch instead of learned. If it had to be learned they could've got Mrs. Donovan.

[linamorgana]

Also the blast thing seeming fatal could have been caused by Phoebe seeing the explosion killing them in a premonition or something?

[gzv969]

All I can think is Prue figured out how to do more than just be able to astral project and figured out it could be learned. At a time I remember she was seriously figuring out how to use her powers while in astral Projection mode which she must have figured out cause when Paige, Piper and Phoebe astral projected to magic school, astral Paige could orb things. she orbed a book at Zankou. The only question was when did Prue teach it to Leo? Was it when she was alive or did she come to Leo sometime later and show him while he was still a white lighter since she wasn't allowed to see her sisters. Also since the sisters just learned it when within this episode did Leo teach them? They wouldn't have had time to learn and perfect it given how long it took prue? So was it a spell or did they somehow call on Prue's astral power?

[Ruth Marie]

A spell would of made much more sense, if only it was a one time thing. To think they could seriously be taught Prue's power. I cannot stand that period, it doesn't make sense at all to me.

I do like the theory that it was something that could be done only once.

 Leo's documents were fake and in case of a true death of the sisters, all the matters of inheritance have to hold up a check


I think that's why all the belongings of the sisters and especially the legal custody of the children must be managed by Victor

That makes sense. Wouldn't Coop also have the same problem, he after all will never age since he is a Cupid. Again more fake documents. Paige is the one less stressed if she ever died, the children given to Henry will not have any legal drama. LOL

[sol]

It's the reason I can't like Coop as Phoebe's husband, who 'ld tolerate an ever young husband as you are getting older?

Yeah me too. Same thing would of happened with Piper and Leo, if Leo never went human. I don't know how the relationship can last, if your partner would remain the same and young as you grew old and died. Also people would notice, and Phoebe and Coop would need to keep relocating every decade or more, when people start noticing Phoebe's husband is not ageing and Phoebe is.

[sol]

I agree and I can't think as an Elder Leo and Coop'ld manage as fathers to see their kids grow old and die

That is so heartbreaking to me. Again why Paige and Henry worked out the best in the end. Nothing to say they have to just marry mortals, but just someone who still ages normally. It just is an issue the sisters should of considered. 

[sol]

Witch or not, I believe a normal man as Henry'ld work well as husband
Phoebe'ld be happy with a man like Alec or Eric or even Leslie

Leo is different, he was ready from the start to become human again

Yes Henry worked so well. Yeah Phoebe might have been happier off with Alec or even Eric. Is Eric the guy from They're Everywhere? Maybe even Kira, I know some fans could buy into Phoebe and Kira. 

[Melinda Halliwell]

Yes Eric Bragg is the guy from season 2's 'They're Everywhere' episode played by Misha Collins who's Castiel now on Supernatural actually.

Perhaps in terms of Coop and non human Leo aging if he had stayed an Elder and was allowed to be with Piper then her and Phoebe could have casted different spells during certain points in their lives so that both men aged a little making them look similar to the girls on the outside but not on the inside avoiding any suspicion from the public and everything.

[Esmeralda]

Since Brian Krause kept aging even before Leo lost his wings, I always thought Leo glamoured himself in order to look the same age as Piper. Of course once he lost his wings he wouldn't have to. As for Coop, in the comics (and I know they're not canon, but it's an interesting way of looking at them), since cupids are babies who were never born or were stillborn, they start out as cherubs and end up as cupids, so I would say that aging is part of being a cupid. If that's not the case in the canon world, I think Phoebe would enjoy having people thinking she has a "boy-toy".

But living with the idea that your wife and children died years, decades ago... Another reason why dead men siring children just doesn't make any sense.

Good point

Or, better, that they have to quit their status
Leo was ready to turn human again when he felt in love with Piper and I suspect it was Gideon to push him to remain a whitelighter, a little experiment that backfired

[magena]

Leo'ld be equally useful to the sisters thanks to his deep knowledge of the magic world

I loved human Leo, more sweet and wise compared to Elder leo
