I have a few questions about the Phoenix witches.
So I always found the idea of these witches to be fascinating in this universe because of there unique morality and I wish we saw more of them. It’s interesting that they aren’t quite neutral but instead they are really only aligned to themselves and can choose which side they fight for unlike most creatures who can’t flip sides on a dime but rather get one or the other.
Anyway I was wondering if all of them actually have the same powers or if they can have unique abilities based on the witch line they are descended from because the only 2 we see are mother and daughter. I know this isn’t really answered in the show but I want a general idea of what the fandom thinks. Personally I think they can have unique abilities because Bianca says she is the only one who can fix Chris once he had his powers half stripped and the only other time someone says this it’s because they also have a unique ability and we know she wasn’t the only Phoenix in the city. Also it’s not like she absorbed his powers but she just removed them. I know Piper assumed that because one Phoenix can reform that all of them can but I’m just not sure she could reasonably make that assumption especially since some evil witches even have unique abilities like the sea hag and I think Tuatha also had a unique way of using magic.
Last question is how would a Phoenix stack up against a regular upper level witch? Maybe like Billie, Christy or even the witch with super speed (I think Kevin). I know Piper lost to her but honestly she was probably the least qualified charmed one to take her on because Phoebe and Paige both seem to fight more then her and are seemingly better at it and Pipers powers don’t even really work on her. If Phoebe had it thrown at her then dodged it Bianca wouldn’t have had a weapon to grab and I am positive Bianca knew this considering she has studied them and would know both their powers and skills (the future even had a video of Shax bursting through the manor doors when the power of three was reconstituted). I think Billie would stand a fighting chance because her reflexes are pretty good and telekinesis would be way more effective against a phoenix then either of Piper’s powers.
