I’m thinking.. and yes, I’m fanwanking this… that the reason Blue isn’t very powerful now is because she is the oldest power. Perhaps she’s… well, lost her powers along the way. Old age, time… I don’t know. But, the oldest doesn’t necessarily mean the strongest.
Was she the “original” or “ultimate” power according to Morraine? Either way, 300 years later things might be different, and her relative amount of power could be less. After all, an original computer is nowhere near as powerful as the ones we use today. Rumpel upgraded himself in all kinds of ways, but maybe that is not possible for a fairy.
I do agree that the writers should explain more clearly why. Is it because there are not enough “pure hearts” who she can help? A limit of fairy dust she can use per day? We fans can muse about it, but it really is a gap that the writers should address with more than a tweet.
