Perhaps Blue knows this lesson all too well (maybe from her fight previous fight with the Black Fairy). And knowing this, she chooses to be very cautious about using her power. It's not weakness that we are actually seeing, but wisdom. And it is that same wisdom that keeps her more in the background. Her choice, not because she is weak, but because she is powerful and wants to limit her use of power.

This is great idea, I thought similar. And it could make a great spin on use of this plot. before, we've seen people losing something to magic. But Blue has better understanding. maybe she-unlike many-gets that if she, for example nukes whole cities, people will start fearing her, it will cost innocent lives, and she'll slowly lose herself. That kind of price.
