Powers and Abilities
Billie is a witch, though not as powerful as the Charmed Ones. She has the power of telekinesis, the ability to move objects with her mind. It is suggested that she learned to master her powers quickly as she used her telekinetic powers to enhance her natural acrobatic and fighting talents so that she could perform flips and other gravity defying manoeuvres. Billie told Paige she hadn't had her powers for "that long"; most likely being a year at the most. As she grew as a witch a second latent power manifested: the ability of projection(otherwise known as the "ultimate power). This power was initially identified as the ability (as Phoebe put it) to turn people and things into whatever comes to mind without a spell or potion, but was later revealed to be a greater power to manipulate reality and time itself.
At first the power activated subconsciously, while Billie was suppressing her emotions, transforming an object without her intention. She transformed fresh flowers into dead ones after saying her parents are going to "suck the life out of this place" and then the plants literally got the life sucked out of them. Then accusing her parents of being "coldhearted assassins", accidentally transformed them into just that. Upon gaining greater control over the power she displayed the ability to transform a dying Penjing tree into a younger, healthier version of itself at the 'beginning of its cycle', cleanse The Charmed Ones of evil influence, create illusionary duplicates of herself and her sister and also amplify Christy's power to the degree that it could incinerate a demon thought unvanquishable. Another powerful application of this power was to allow Billie to transport herself through time by force of will.
Initially, Billie was more interested in fighting demons than learning her craft. However, under the Charmed Ones' training, Billie becomes a fairly skillful witch with potion-making and spellcasting abilities rivaling those of the Halliwells.
Billie uses a more modern form of scrying than the Charmed Ones. While the Charmed Ones waved a crystal over a giant map, Billie attached her scrying crystal to her computer's mouse. This allowed her to scry on Internet maps. When she found her target a red square appeared on the area. This was used as a form of GPS, allowing Billie to pinpoint the location of the target.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“For human nature, being more highly pitched, selved, and distinctive than anything in the world, can have been developed, evolved, condensed, from the vastness of the world not anyhow or by the working of common powers but only by one of finer or higher pitch and determination than itself.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“The art of using moderate abilities to good advantage is a way of stealing the esteem of others, and often brings a man into greater reputation than does real merit.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
