My biggest fears for this show arise fromthe possibility that such creatures as hexenbiests will be used to justify ressurection, time travel, reality warping, god-moding, or creating new magical issues that tak eover the plot like in The Vampire Diaries or Superatural. It should retain the limitations we find in natural things, with clearly established constraints an limitations.

Regarding the earlier comment, when considering the self serving nature of hexenbiests, i find it unlikely that they would purposefuly create beings with the power to undo them with their blood. Unless we consider te possibility that this power arose as a result of their essence producing them. Something like a double-edged sword. Henrietta was prepared for Nick, Adalind and Catherine were on the offensive, Frau Pech had no dealings with a Grimm, and Elizabeth was aware of Nick and not his enemy. They have never been caught off gaurd like many of the other species. I think that siegbarste koschie hexenbiests and the like (forgive the terrible spelling) all stand in the same area. Koschie for instance can heal wounds at an immpossible rate and cure people, meaning that they can tap into a similar kind of power as hexenbiests. Radiation could not explain the feats they accomplished. The excandesco ( again, sorry) was able to direst jets of firce from his hands in a conical fashion with no apparent method of projecting it in such a way. With Catherine's performance agaist Kelly, it is likely that she is far weaker than such creatures. They would be unlikely to fear her. Hexenbiests are part of the upper crust, boasting abilities that the royals find useful, but not so powerful that they can't be controlled. They would have to be a species that doesn't naturally pown everything otherwise they sould have take over the royals by now or been exterminated for being to great a liability. The royals must be able to control them.
