i think with expression, bonnie would destroy davina but without it bonnie would be killed easily.

Expression can only be used by already powerful witches,if its used by some weak witch like caitlin,she would die in the first set of 12 victims.So,Bonnie using expression only proves how powerful she already was,considering she can actually control it in a way.It still didnt kill her,what killed was defying nature.Davina,however,was a normal witch pretty much weaker than bonnie or gretta or even that nandi chick.But then she got infused with someone elses power which doesnt even belong to her.If she started using expression as a normal witch with her own powers,it would possibly kill her...
I don't remember anywhere that expression needs to be used by powerful witches only. It is only said it requires control. Expression needs to be taught. Without guadiance from someone who knows it, it can consume and kill you. That's why Bonnie survived, she had Shane teaching her. Bonnie is not that strong. Maddox was able to do what Bonnie couldn't with ease. Bonnie was only strong enough to take down originals Kol and Klaus because of the expression. Without it or dark magic she is capable of very little. Yes, the unbinding spell was performed by Bonnie, but she was under pressure and it still took her all day. Elijah left Davina alone with probably the same spell, and she just randomly tried and solved it. Davina may be using someone elses power, but it's just the three girls who were her peers. With so little power she is strong enough to do more than what Bonnie did with 100 dead witches + wiping an original vampire's memory. Davina wasn't so effective against Klaus, because there was Tim in the way. On one on one, Davina could boil someone's blood, some magic elders did back in 1800s something (I don't remember the exact date Agnes said). And Davina is just 16, she's doing ancient elder magic.
1- When she had 100 dead witches, she throwing Klaus around was considered an act of strength, despite it forced Bonnie a lot and her nose bled. Davina got three girls' powers, yet she shows more strength.
2- Why are you comparing expression Bonnie and normal Davina? Think about Davina's strength if she resorted to darkness or expression. She could destroy the entire planet in mere seconds (in a manner of speaking).
3- Ancestrial magic channels to the bloodline. That's why it needs to be restored every now and then. Spirit magic has access to all spirits. And Davina shows more strength despite that handicap.
Davina doesn't just have the power of the three witches. She has the power of the ancestral magic which has been running for over 300 years. The Harvest ritual is performed every 300 years and when the witches are killed, all the powers are linked as one. So, obviously, Davina seems stronger but, she doesn't seem to handle it well. I mean obviously, she had to blast the whole church just to break one bone of Klaus???
Bonnie was able to perform unliking spell put by Esther on five Originals without any help at one go. She didn't have access to witch spirits or expression at the moment. While, for Davina, she got frustrated and had to practise more than once just to do a simple unlikning spell between a werewolf and a power-compromised witch.
Bonnie doesn't need expression. She was able to pull body transformation spell, unlinking spell and so many others with her normal powers. And, Davina with the access of 300 years of power can't perform a single spell properly without blowing glass and shaking rooms. I don't think she's that powerful at all. At any given point, Davina will be crushed by all the Bennett Witches and Esther!! :P
Silas told that Expression is a form of magic very powerful enough, only pulled by strong witches and he thinks Bonnie can do it! So, there you go, Expression does need powerful witches!
^This,and besides,if it can be just used by any witch,then why did caitlin die immediatly,she wasnt a powerful witch in her own power so the powers expression gives are only limited to more powerful witches already.Basically,it only heightens their already powerful abilities.
It isn't that hard to get in the head off an original. A normal vampire ( Sage ) did it and Silas got also in the mind of Rebekah and even Klaus and Bonnie defeat him. And the normal davina stuff is bullshit because it isn't normal. She does not only possess the power of three dead witches but a whole line of ancestors and they talked about every 300 years so presumably the line goes far more back than 300 years !
Why would you handicap Bonnie not giving her Expression, but give Davina her powers now? Not to mention the BS that someone said that you always channel ALL Spirits when you use spirit magic? Bonnie should be able to channel her witch line or gain the power of 3 other witches if Davina gets expression then it would only make the battle fair. Also, Expression is basically watered down reality warping how is Davina going to fight that?
I'm not saying Davina should keep her access to 3 dead witches and Bonnie should go by herself. I'm just saying if it should be expression Bonnie against Davina, then in that case Davina should have expression too. Expression makes a witch considerably stronger and having Davina against expression Bonnie is simply unfair to her. If one has, the other has to have too. If one doesn't, then the other also shouldn't. That's why I'm saying think about what Bonnie did with 100 dead witches and what Davina did with 3 dead witches. Davina is by far stronger.
I am just saying this, please don't mind, but you should probably see The Original again, the part where Davina explains The Harvest ritual. It was after the ritual that she got all powers, not just of 3 witches, but The Ancestral Magic, powers of over 300 years or maybe even more. Should Bonnie have only her powers, then Davina should try fighting on her own powers too. And, its pretty clear Bonnie has the upper hand, despite having expression or not!
And, also about what Bonnie did with 100 dead witches was she inflicted so much pain to Klaus, that he was practically in his death bed, begging Elijah to save him. And, Davina, with 3 dead witches and ancestral magic of over 300 years, just blew the entire windows of the church and broke one bone of Klaus. How does Davina become powerful now?
