I figure if it's more like an energy field that merges with a person, then the power would be theirs without question. The "power" (of guardians) is, well, there's no specific power set designed. It's sort of like whatever you want it to be. It's literally unlimited power and the holder of it does whatever they damn well please with it :) The last antagonist of the series will use it to wipe out all supernaturals from the planet, for example. If you were keeping at as "crystals" I imagined something like . The "Guardian" families would have cut one of the smaller ones into even more, smaller pieces (the number of original Guardian families) and shaped them into necklaces, rings, etc. which would then have become the family heirloom (like Gilbert Rings, for example). They did this so that each family could have an equal amount of power to defend themselves if any of the others decided to get ambitious and acquire all the power for themselves. But once broken from the original crystal, the power in the "broken crystals" becomes fickle and fades the more used, unlike in the original rooted crystals (which I thought lay beneath the sophisticated cave system of Mystic Falls becoz, Mystic Falls, ;D). The actual power in the crystals can't be contained in just anyone. The host would have to be deemed worthy to functionally use that amount of power - for instance a pure soul like Ali's, or an immortal body like Silas's? IDK, but this theory only works if you wanted to keep the crystal theme. :)

Meanwhile, I cannot believe you forgot about Katherine going down with Stefan in that fire! >:-< smh.

But "we" don't know that yet .. I'll inquire more on the Iowa thing once I'm done reading ep4. :D
