I suspect she also had something like Willow's reason: she could be powerful instead of an outcast. Willow, of course, got validation from her very first spell (Becoming) and it takes a while for her to become powerful. I don't know what validation Amy might have gotten, nor how long it took her. She does seem to have gotten some stuff very quickly (BB&B), which may have been enough.Mark Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661801011668244109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913356479406165601.post-40286678926123058072020-06-25T00:33:35.586-07:002020-06-25T00:33:35.586-07:00*SPOILER*

She takes to magic in the very next season and by season 3 has rat-ified herself. So, why?<br />Could it be that Amy has been so changed by the abuse that she seeks magic out?buried_in_1928https://www.blogger.com/profile/18161484004361223794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913356479406165601.post-22147702209174340162017-06-22T06:06:57.592-07:002017-06-22T06:06:57.592-07:00Thank you!

Reading your posts has added so much for me to the experience of getting to know Buffy - I don't think I would have loved it as much without it - so seriously: thank you!<br /><br />And also: Especially going back again now, I have NO IDEA how you managed to keep your posts spoiler free - serious kudos! - (now I almost wish there were two versions one without and one with spoilers for even more geeky fun but I guess thats what we have the comments for ;)) but thank you again for your tremendous work and effort and for making it possible for me to read along on my first way round - I had so much fun (and I'm already coming back to re-read...)! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913356479406165601.post-76538621157392637312013-03-24T07:03:18.663-07:002013-03-24T07:03:18.663-07:00Cool.

Option B is that her essence was trapped in the statue and released when the statue was destroyed. Maybe it floats around, disembodied, like the souls lost when people are vamped. Or maybe it found a new home in Amy. That would certainly explain a lot.Mark Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661801011668244109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913356479406165601.post-7275638837391651912011-11-13T20:15:04.188-08:002011-11-13T20:15:04.188-08:00I always wondered if when the school was destroyed...I always wondered if when the school was destroyed, did Catherine escape her frozen fate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913356479406165601.post-4595967767965578832011-11-08T13:33:09.712-08:002011-11-08T13:33:09.712-08:00I knew your spoiler comment was the scene you mean...I knew your spoiler comment was the scene you meant.
