The Psychic Witch: Exploring the Powers of the Mind in The Vampire Diaries

The Psychic Witch in The Vampire Diaries (TVD) is a character that possesses supernatural abilities related to psychic powers. They have the ability to tap into the minds of others, perceive their thoughts, and even manipulate their actions to a certain degree. These powers provide an interesting dynamic within the show, as they often serve as a potential threat or ally to the main characters. One of the main characteristics of a Psychic Witch is the ability to delve into the minds of others. This allows them to read their thoughts and understand their deepest desires or fears. It also enables them to manipulate these thoughts, making the individual believe or perceive something that may not be true.

7• the hollow was not affected by haley blood, when the hollow was inside sofia body and haley stabbed her with her blood, you could see that she was hissing in pain. But when haley and freya came to kill her, she was brewing something that would make her unaffected by the labonir blood and was only able to die then because klaus was able to destroy the totem she gave kol to protect for her.

Also, the last time bonnie stopped matt heart was when mama salvator and the heretics was terrorising mystic and they had to compel the citizens out of town, she didn t even use her magic and when matt had almost died or already died she couldn t even use her magic to bring him back and had to resort to pressuring his chest. You are also forgetting that while the hollow might not have created an immortality spell, she did create something that is none from the beginning of tvdu, the werewolf curse and non have been able to brake it, so i still stand by my point.

It also enables them to manipulate these thoughts, making the individual believe or perceive something that may not be true. This power can be particularly useful in situations where the Psychic Witch needs to gather information or gain an advantage over their adversaries. Additionally, Psychic Witches in TVD are also capable of astral projection.

TVDU Witches vs Potterverse Characters

Round 2: Still don’t know about TVDU characters, but unless they can resist death hax they’re… well.. dead. Or control hax, with imperio.

Davina would just snap her finger and put everyone to sleep or break their bones till they are left in a paralised state, each tvdu character can solo.

Bonnie Bennett is a psychic/witch from The Vampire Diaries. She is a Bennett witch which means she's from one of the most powerful bloodlines in her verse.

Psychic Feats:

Magic:

Hope Mikaelson is the most powerful witch in the TVDU since she's the tribrid which basically means she's a vampire, werewolf, and witch, however I only limited her to being a werewitch in the first round:

Kai Parker is a heretic: witch/vampire hybrid. He's a siphoner meaning he can siphon endless amounts of magic.

The tvdu still win they can put them to sleep and also have great reaction like reacting to vampires, is Kai a heretic here because he can blitz.

I forgot to state but he's a normal witch in round 1 while he's a heretic in round 2.

Yeah but these feats TVDU should stomp, idr Any feats in that level from the HP characters

@gamerdude77: Kai was never a normal witch to begin with. Once he became an actual witch he had the combined power of his brother and sister and then for a brief moment was the leader of the Gemini coven meaning he was linked to an entire coven and could potentially just banish people to prison dimensions by himself.

(Hope Mikaelson is the most powerful witch in the TVDU since she's the tribrid which basically means she's a vampire, werewolf, and witch, however I only limited her to being a werewitch in the first round:).

> correction, hope is not the most powerful witch in tvdu. The most powerful witch in tvdu is the hollow (inadu) because her power is above even that of the ancestors and she have also done much more impressive feat than hope, by scaling and feat, the most powerful witch in tvdu list should be like this:

3.) Gatekeeper davina

But in a fight hope would beat almost all the witches in tvdu except:

@mage101: i get your point, when i said the most powerful witch in TO, i was kinda grading them based on how their fight would play out and techniques. Qetsiyah doesn't have much feat beside creating an immortality spell and a dimention, she also created a cure for her own immortality. Now dhalia is technically an immortal and have proven to be a master at her game, it literally took multiple bennett witch to desiccate mikael while dahlia performed such feat on two originals with just a wave of her hand and can casually do mind control. So by power alone qetsiyah >>>> dahlia but by technique and skills dahlia >>>> qetsiyah. As for bonnie, she would need more than raw power to beat dahlia because dahlia could just wave her hands and kill her.

Gatekeeper davina is above them and should be the 2nd strongest witch in this series by feat and lore wise, davina in this form holds the magic of all the ancestors which honestly is above the bennett line. Harvest girl davina that was absorbing all the ancestral magic was able to shake new Orleans by just losing control and also when the ancestors cursed kol to kill davina, they also shook new Orleans. Now davina has all that power and in a more controlled manner and also have feat like, forcing marcel into transformation, removing his venom, drawing blood from klaus with magic and being able to bfr both haley and klaus and also bringing back Haley to the real world.

The hollow is above qetsiyah since she was able to shake new Orleans casually by just resurrecting and her power is also above the ancestors, meaning she and gatekeeper davina are the strongest but between dahlia and qetsiyah raw power qetsiyah takes it but in a fight dahlia would stomp.

@mage101: bonnie mom likely had help with the spell, because the way she explained the spell to bonnie when she tried to desiccate both upgraded original alaric and Klaus was that they needed to stop a human heart and also need physical connection to the person that you are about to desiccate, meanwhile dhalia perforned such feat by just waving her hands and it worked quickly.

Info on tvdu desiccation, in case you are curious:

2. The bennett line have only hundred witches, while in the ancestral plane in new Orleans they have 10x that number and have feats above the bennett line. You also need to remember that davina was about to burn down new orleans by just losing control of her power.

The size of the ancestral plane and the veil in tvdu are both unknown in size, and even if the veil and bonnie and qetsiyah dimention are planetary in size, i never once doubted their power. But the fact still remains the ancestors have the number and power that are above the bennett line.

The ancestors in TO couldn't kill the mikaelsons themselves because they can't interact with anything outside of the cemetery, and that is why their are regents in new Orleans and why the ancestors where more than capable of making Vincent make lucien an upgraded vampire that could kill and original. Another fact is that bonnie with the 100 witches power needed klaus to be weakened to be able to kill him.

The veil and the ancestral plane works differently, and the veil in tvd is only in mystic falls and not world wide since bonnie could see people who died before they went to the veil, meaning just like the ancestral plane only extend to new Orleans witches or witches that are being concentrated in new Orleans the veil is a beacon that attract all supernatural being who died even outside of mystic falls to it, so the veil could be considered to have a planetary range but not planet level in sizes. So.

Ancestors ->>>> bennett bloodline

3. Nature couldn't undo the hollow, which is why her bones needed to be separated. The hollow doesn't know qetsiyah neither did hope or dhalia, and just like dahlia immortality weakness is Viking ashes, silas weakness also the cure.

You are also forgetting that while the hollow might not have created an immortality spell, she did create something that is none from the beginning of tvdu, the werewolf curse and non have been able to brake it, so i still stand by my point.

Hollow ->>>> Gate keeper davina ->>> the ancestors ->>>> the bennett line.

@mage101: Yes it is not a must human must be used, but the spell bonnie took from her mother needed a human and also physical connection to the person that they are about to desiccate, and that is why both damon, stefan and klaus had to drink bonnie's blood, so unlike the version dahlia did casually, bonnie mother own has a method.

2. Bonnie on her own is not capable of holding hell fire, if she could, the rest of the bennett witches wouldn't have to go help her. Bonnie cannot channel magic from another witches bloodline, the veil in mystic falls doesn't work like that, and if bonnie could channel magic from other witch in the veil she would would have bested lot of villain the series and another fact here is that no other witch in the veil would even bother helping bonnie besides her own lineage. Also Emily bennett and sheila bennett where also among the witch that assisted bonnie in the hell fire that cade made, we didn't see nora or anyone that wasn't a bennett witch, so bonnie only channelled her bloodline.

3. Qetsiyah did create a cure for immortality and the hollow created a weapon that would kill an original. While qetsiyah feat is indeed impressive she is not above the people i listed, though she is among the top 5.

4. The veil is in mystic falls, given that when the veil was dropped all the supernatural spirit started roaming in mystic falls. The veil is only in mystic falls, but it attract dead people that aren't in mystic falls, that why mystic falls is called a beacon of supernatural and why bonnie could see witches that died elsewhere, their spirit is being drawn to the veil in mystic falls.

5. Nature could not undo the hollow and that is basically the whole reason why klsus had to die, because the hollow is still trapped inside klaus even in death and bringing back klaus to life would means also resurrecting the hollow (she has no weakness)

6. The wolf spell on hailey wasn't broken, it was only being suppressed, same thing that happened to klaus and why he needed a doppelganger to break the curse esther put on him. Haley can still get her wolf side back if she didn't die.

Hollow ->>>> Gate keeper davina ->>> the ancestors ->>>> the bennett line.

@mage101: You just answered your own question by yourself. Abby is not a power house, so she desiccating mikael alone doesn't seem logical at all. If you remember correctly Abby said mikael was terrorising mystic falls and abby is not the only witch in mystic falls, add on to the fact that mystic falls has a whole council that hunts supernatural. Abby might have desiccate mikael, but she most definitely didn't do it alone.

2. Bonnie redirecting the hell fire without any help would have died like she has multiple times. Non of the witches in tvd have been shown to be able to channel from other witches, the only witch that have been shown to do that are kol in kaleb body, dahlia, gamini coven and the strix witches, so what luka told bonnie is indeed true but witch on bonnie caliber can't perform such a complex feat.

Bonnie channelling magic from the hundred witches who burnt from season 2 isn't an actual proof of her being able to channel magic, given that most of the witches who were burnt there where bennett witches because damon betrayed them in his effort to bring back Katherine. So bonnie was most definitely not channelling from other witches that wasn't from her own lineage.

Also, when esther wanted to channel from the bennett bloodline, she needed to actually perform a ritual to do such a thing, so saying bonnie can channel from other witches that ain't from her bloodline is just bs to me given that esther knowledge on magic far surpasses bonnie's knowledge.

When did bonnie channel from luka? I can believe luka being able to channel from bonnie but not vice versa.

3. The hollow grew thorns that where capable of killing an original from marcel blood, the stake where made by Sofia and every thorn from that stake is more than capable of killing an original.

4. The first time that the hollow died was to the witches who gave her that power and even then they needed to spell an axe and gave the axe to the hollow's mother who was a labonire, the witches who spelled the axe also said this " only the woman who gave her life is capable of taking it" and back then the labonire blood was capable of killing her given that she herself was also a labonire.

The second time when she died, she made sure that she was completely immune to labonire blood, since haley and hope where the last living labonire. As you can see by yourself the first time when she died it was implied that her body was completely indestructible and that is why even with her body being burnt down to ashes her bones where still indestructible despite using her weakness against her.

The second time when haley killed her klaus had already destroyed the stone she gave kol to protect for her, because she wasn't fully resurrected because elijah did not die, so her body wasn't indestructible since klaus destroyed the stone but she did counter her weakness something even silas could not do and also silas weakness for his immortality is the cure, basically the whole reasons hunter exists and why they needed to the map on their back to be completed, so yeah silas immortality does have a clear weakness.

Can you tell me which witch that you have seen in tvd possess a vampire huh?

5. The veil is not planetary in size, only in range. Bonnie could literally see the ghost who died come to mystic falls and talk to her before they went to the veil. We don't also know the size of the prison world in legacies or tvd because it was never stated and it is not safe to assume that it is planetary in size.

I don't doubt the bennett witches power, but i also don't overestimate it. Lore wise and feat wise, the ancestor have been portrayed to be above the veil and also above the hundred bennett witches.

@mage101: Am not the one who needs to prove that Abby did not desiccate mikael by herself, you are the one that need to actually prove that abby did such spell alone. I honestly don't get how you would believe that abby was able to stop a human heart, make a long enough physical contact to mikael and also desiccate him at once without getting killed.

2• Bonnie channelled the bennett bloodline while trying to kill klaus, and also when bonnie channelled luka, she had to link luka to her (meaning she didn't do it well), and when jonas halted luka magic the spell was broken. So the channelling ability she performed wasn't even complex. The strix witches are also more than capable of beating bonnie.

3• Oh yeah sorry bout the damon part. Also bonnie did not channel the hundred witches, she's not just channelling 100 witches. She's channelling the energy of their violent deaths, when Esther created Original Alaric, she used the energy from her violent death that occurred a thousand years ago. It was strong enough to Create Alaric and form an unbreakable barrier spell in the high-school. Multiply that by a hundred, that's what Bonnie was channelling. We never even saw Bonnie use this power in earnest because if she used too much of it, it would have killed her.

Also, here's is a link that it was the bennett coven witches that died:

4• Exactly what i was saying, bonnie can't channel from another witches line like a regent in new Orleans could, and when she channelled luka she had to link luka to her, therefore almost killing him.

5• No, i don't think channelling is to much for, she is likely in the top 3 witches that can channel lots of power. The only problem here is that she is not that knowledgeable on magic like the rest of the Bennett witches, a bennett witch was esther teacher and you can definitely see the complex spell esther usually performs, meanwhile bonnie doesn't have any teacher that could expand her knowledge on magic since she started practicing at 16.

6• the hollow body can be killed when weakened, but her soul is everlasting (true immortal with no weakness).

7• the hollow was not affected by haley blood, when the hollow was inside sofia body and haley stabbed her with her blood, you could see that she was hissing in pain. But when haley and freya came to kill her, she was brewing something that would make her unaffected by the labonir blood and was only able to die then because klaus was able to destroy the totem she gave kol to protect for her.

8• it has been stated multiple times that the hollow needed a powerful supernatural being to die before she can be fully resurrected, practically the whole reason she was killing other witches was because she wasn't at her full power yet, marcel even noted that she wasn't at her full power yet when she turned his blood black. The totem was not what was protecting her from Hailey's blood, she was brewing a counter to it.

9• what is special about vampire is that they can't be possessed, let alone the possessed on the level that they are still capable of doing magic. And i don't get what you mean by "a witch broken out of peace to help their descendants".

10• Amara and silas ate the anchor to the prison world, not bonnie. Bonnie could only see the ghost because she is a Bennett witch. When the veil was dropped, all spirit from the supernatural plane where coming to mystic falls and not another country because mystic falls is a beacon that attractive supernaturals.

11• The ancestors have defeated the originals multiple times now and gatekeeper davina was never beaten by kid hope, what hope did was blow away the salt that hold davina in the physical plane. The ancestors have over powered the mikaelsons multiple times now, and esther was the most powerful witch in the ancestral plane because she made a deal with the ancestors, promising them she could get rid of the mikaelson.

They don't need to be planetary to be above the bennett and non of the bennett witches are planetary.

@mage101: Dahlia being able to desiccate both klaus and mikael at the same time doesn't prove abby could even perform such a feat, specially when the person you are trying her to is someone who killed a whole village with just a wave of her hand and also desiccate both mikael and klaus with just a wave. Comparing both dahlia and abby spell wouldn't work specially when abby's spell have been shown to have a method.

Also, the last time bonnie stopped matt heart was when mama salvator and the heretics was terrorising mystic and they had to compel the citizens out of town, she didn't even use her magic and when matt had almost died or already died she couldn't even use her magic to bring him back and had to resort to pressuring his chest.

2• I most definitely did not agree on bonnie being able to channel magic from someone else's bloodline. Channellin from another person bloodline is not the same thing as channelling from the descendants. Bonnie was only capable of channelling from luka via being link, for you to prove that bonnie is capable of channelling from another witches line, you will need to show feat of her channelling from luka ancestors like she can do with her own.

The main witches from the strix coven like(Ariane, Maddie And Davina) are more than capable of beating bonnie in a 1 on 1 match. The strix witches perform dark magic that are similar to expression bonnie, but this one doesn't have a down side and it makes them extremely strong.

Here are some feat they've performed:

Ariane: clairvoyance (she is capable of seeing elijah 1000+ history/knowledge in a matter of second, she was capable of telling that elijah wants to kill, elijah deem her a threat and she is also able to predict some part of the future and sensing others intentions.), dimentional travel (she is capable of going to another plane of existence in her physical body and also coming back by herself without help), bfr (capable of sending souls away with a wave of her hand) astral projection (capable of contacting davina despite being dead and also performing magic in her astral form).

The strix witches are above bonnie in terms of knowledge and davina has created two spells by herself and maddie was toying with klaus who was considered a big threat by tvd standards. The strix witches are prodigy, bonnie is not.

3• The coven that was destroyed was the bennett coven, some might not be a direct bennett and might get into such coven through marriage or something because i don't think the bennett witch who are pretty strict would allow a claire witch into their own coven, just like gemini.

4• they don't need to be link to channel magic from another witch, kol taught davina another way, kol is capable of channel magic from davina and davina have also been shown to be able to channel magic from other witnesses to.

5• the hollow was affected by Haley's blood, which is why she said "so you've figured out my weakness". Also haley blood wouldn't affect her to much since she was in a vamps body and vampire heals.

6• Yes the totem was for protection, and as you can see, when klaus destroyed the totem she became weakened and freya and haley was able to take advantage of that. Also, the hollow was able to possess hope who is also a labonire and her blood didn't affect her and when she was killed by haley she was still smiling, therefore proving my point that she countered her weakness.

7• Esther was channelling from the ancestors, and the series would have ended ended in season two assuming the ancestors can interact with anything outside of the Cemetery. Lucien was a new specie that can solo tvd verse given that he was a vessel to the ancestors, and magic doesn't affect him like that since the ancestors have broken him out multiple spells casually.

8• I don't still buy your planetary bennett witch and saying veil >>>> ancestral plane, given that davina while shuned would still beat hell fire bonnie.

@mage101: Bonnie needed the salvatore and Tyler to be able to desiccate klaus. When they wanted to desiccate upgraded alaric, they needed to drink bonnie's blood so they could stay connected to her, and if they had made any physical connection to alaric she would be aware of it and immediately start the spell.

This can be seen when klaus shoved his arm inside alaric heart and bonnie was immediately aware of it and started chanting and we could clearly see alaric desiccating until he pulled out klaus hands from his chest. Same thing also happened to klaus when damon and stefan held him down with some assist, so claiming abby did the spell on her own is not believable specially when bonnie said " i brought the spell my mom used to desiccate mikael" and we have seen said spell being used multiple times by her and it isn't a one person job, so if abby almost died it only proves she was a weak witch and nothing else.

2• No, i didn't bring bonnie not being able to restart matt heart as a way to downplay her power, i only brought it out to prove that despite having her magic for 5 or more years now, she still lacks knowledge on witchcraft compare to witches of new Orleans.

3• Again, you haven't addressed anything, can you even show me any feat of bonnie channelling magic from someone else ancestors huh? No, because she haven't done such feat yet and the only person capable of doing that are regent, and regent aren't in tvd.

4• Nope, the strix witches aren't as powerful as bonnie with expression, bonnie with expression was very powerful and even silas knew that, if she hadn't stopped using it she would be more than capable of stopping hell fire on her own, the only problem with expression bonnie is that the magic would have killed her far more quickly than channelling the 100 witches death.

Now while the strix witches are also a power house with their own form of expression, most of them where born with innate ability, like ariane being able to see into the future. Another noticeable difference is that the strix witches are also empathy and bonnie is psychic and their own form of expression is mostly powerful due to them being empathy and it has little to no weakness at all.

5• Literally all the feat you listed for bonnie aren't even the same with ariane and you are only showing me feat of bonnie psychic prowess (which i already know) and the thing bonnie did to enzo was not clairvoyance.

Not every witch in tvd universe are capable of using magic while in their astral projection, jonas and luka couldn't and i don't remember bonnie ever using astral projection.

In power it has always been bonnie >>> ariane, but in every other thing ariane would take it cause she is by far more knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to magic, also i don't remember bonnie ever fighting anyone who could technically predict what she is gonna do, and another fact is bonnie lacks the killer instinct that new Orleans witches possess, so in a 1 v 1 fight it would most definitely favor ariane the most.

6• Shunned davina is not more powerful than bonnie, but she is indeed more knowledgeable on magic and i don't see how bonnie breaking kai unbreakable spell is more impressive than davina making and breaking a spell that was considered impossible in the whole of tvdu.

7• The coven is basically called bennett coven, and i have my doubt on them evening allowing a claire witch inside their coven given how coven witches are naturally strict especially in new Orleans, and even if all the witches in the bennett coven are related by blood, they are are still other ways of joining the coven and being related.

8• hope weakness is not labonire blood, but the hollow weakness is. The hollow have never been shown to possess a labonire and this can be proven by when she possessed Jackson parents and used them to kill hayleys parents instead of directly possessing the Marshall by herself, and kid hope weakness was not red oak stake then given that she hasn't yet activate her vampire side yet.

Yes the hollow back up plan was always to possess hope since she had been troubling her since and didn't try to also possess her while she still had the labonire weaknes despite having multiple chances. The hollow only possess hope after countering her weakness and figuring out her own body wasn't real indestructible as it should be.

9• Literally all the people you listed would get killed by lucien, kai would get decapitated, silas would suffer the same fate as kai did, the sirens would be killed easily cade is the only problem but i don't see him doing much. Also, lucien bite would kill a normal vampire faster that it would kill and original.

10• I have countered your planetary veil multiple times now but whatever helps you sleep bro. Davina is more than capable of replicating bonnie feat when she was a regent, gatekeeper and harvest girl and she would do all those feat casually. And am glad you know davina is far more skilled on magic compared to bonnie.

6• the hollow body can be killed when weakened, but her soul is everlasting (true immortal with no weakness).

This allows them to leave their physical bodies and travel to different places or realms using only their minds. By doing so, they can observe events from a distance or reach out to other supernatural beings for assistance. This ability comes in handy when the Psychic Witch needs to communicate with spirits or entities that exist beyond the physical plane. The Psychic Witch is often portrayed as a complex character in TVD, often being caught between their own desires and the needs of others. They can be both a potential threat and an ally to the main characters, so their loyalties are often uncertain. Their powers give them a unique perspective on the events unfolding in the show and often contribute to the overarching storyline. Overall, the Psychic Witch in TVD is a fascinating and powerful character that adds depth to the supernatural world within the show. Their abilities to tap into the minds of others and project themselves astrally enable them to play a pivotal role in the plot, making them a vital and intriguing component of the series..

Reviews for "The Psychic Witches of The Vampire Diaries: A Deep Dive into their Abilities"

1. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆

I was not impressed with "Psychic witch tvd". The storyline felt disjointed and confusing, with too many characters and subplots that made it difficult to follow. The acting was also subpar, with many of the actors delivering their lines in a forced and unconvincing manner. Additionally, the special effects were lackluster and poorly executed. Overall, I found the show to be unoriginal and unengaging, and I would not recommend it to others.

2. Mark - ★☆☆☆☆

"Psychic witch tvd" was a complete disappointment. The writing was weak, with cliché dialogue and predictable plot twists. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with any of them on an emotional level. The pacing of the show was also off, with some episodes feeling rushed while others dragged on unnecessarily. On top of that, the production value was low, evident in the cheap-looking sets and unimpressive special effects. I regret wasting my time watching this show and would advise others to skip it.

3. Jessica - ★★☆☆☆

I had high hopes for "Psychic witch tvd", but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The plot was convoluted and lacked coherence, leaving me confused and uninterested in the overall story. The characters were poorly developed, and their motivations were unclear and inconsistent throughout the series. The performances were mediocre at best, with bland acting and unconvincing chemistry between the cast members. The show had potential but failed to deliver on its promises. I would not recommend it to fans of the genre.
