I've never seen this show but why does only one of them get to keep their powers? That seems horribly cruel.

[errantnarwhal.livejournal.com]

From what I can remember, it has to do with some weird clause that says only one sibling is allowed to inherit the wizard powers and they must compete against their other siblings to do so. plus iirc, marrying a non-wizard means you forfeit the powers automatically

[(Anonymous)]

This. It's an inherit part of the wizarding world, with some confusing implications. Basically, there can only be one family wizard (though whether the parent forfeits power to the child after the competition is unknown), and siblings must compete for the right to the powers. The sibling with the highest ranking when the children are all of sufficient age and advancement within the competition may set the date for the competition, giving him or her an advantage.

Marrying a non-wizard means you lose your powers (though this seems to have no effect on children inheriting magical powers). Powers may be given to a sibling, at the cost of the winner's magic (meaning that the competition does not ensure power going to the best candidate; in fact, the prime example of this rule uses magic poorly and often dangerously).

And, yes, it is cruel. One character, Stevie, tried to cause an uprising that would have allowed all wizarding children to keep their powers, but she was stopped by the main characters. It was never clearly explained why this would be a bad thing, though there was the implication that it was an evil thng to do and would allow evil wizards to retain their power. It also shows that the one Family Wizard rule is contrived and not some natural law.

ah, I forgot about the rest of that. And about Stevie. Didn't she get turned to stone or something? I thought that was way harsh.

[theoriginal-ist.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and then she got broken into a million pieces when (I think) Max bumped into her. And no one, not even her brother, cared. Way harsh.

[errantnarwhal.livejournal.com]

well damn. that's a little horrifying D:
