ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Okay, so we know that the Blue Fariy is the most powerful being in the magical realms (In the show it was said by a girl and later confirmed by the fairy herself. There is some confusion over this, because she implied that she was powerful because she was good. “powerful” could mean “holds the most influence” or something. Now, we have seen that dark magic is more powerful than light, so yeah.) Then, we also know that the Blue Fairy is the most powerful magic user in “all the land” (whatever that means), because the actress who plays her confirmed it.
Now, why is that? Well, I believe that she may have power in the sense that she has magical ability (fairy dust was described as being the substance that powers the world. Could that mean that someone who can fully harness its power, like the Blue Fairy, may be able to create or completely erase elements like land and water and air, or maybe gravity and electromagnetism and so on, or possibly even space and time. Maybe she can do all that, but 1. it comes at a price, and 2. why would she?) but she cannot cast spells the same caliber as other, more powerful magic users, and has more limitations, and cannot defeat other, more powerful magic users in battle. She would still be more capable than they could imagine, and still would have to fear other, more “Powerful” magic users.
