Current Talk '06 I / Re: Barnabas Collins' supernatural powers in 1967
« on: June 19, 2006, 08:10:02 AM »If Barnabas really had acquired such paranormal abilities as that, why didn't he use them on Angelique in 1795 or on Cassandra in 1968?
I think he might have used this knowledge successfully on the 1795 Angelique, but she seemed to gain powers in death, making Cassandra and even the 1897 Angelique far too powerful. However, one of his spells did have an effect on PT Ange, who was not a full-fledged witch-- [spoiler]an incantation in front of her portrait allowed him to learn her secret by seeing through her eyes, which she sensed and also caused her eyes to burn.[/spoiler]Imagine how useful it would have been on RT Angelique's portrait.
I recall that he was also able to distract Laura in 1897 by creating thunder at the right moment. But it seems unclear where he acquired that particular power.
