My reasoning for the change came from their definitions. PowerIncontinence is defined as \\\"Their power seems to go off at random or they can\\\'t stop using their powers, even if they want to.\\\" whereas PsychoactivePowers are those where \\\"the effectiveness of the power or device depends on the mental stability and/or confidence of the user.\\\" Note that it says \\\"effectiveness\\\" not \\\"can use their powers only when affected by certain emotions\\\".

We need to acknowledge that Wanda\\\'s powerset is increasing. For most of the MCU, her powers were telekinesis and telepathically induced visions (usually of the nightmare variety) and she always seemed to have a pretty firm grasp of these powers.

The Lagos incident was an emergency situation. Wanda enclosed the bomb-laden Crossbones in a red force bubble to save Captain America\\\'s life, then tried to levitate him up out of harm\\\'s way as quickly as possible while still containing the explosion. Although you can see her struggling to hold on the entire time, the situation ended up overtaxing her ability and the explosion burst from her bubble before it cleared the nearby building, taking out multiple floors.

I never saw that as she couldn\\\'t control her powers but the situation was too much for her. She wasn\\\'t strong enough. (it should be noted that if she did nothing, there still would have been considerable loss of life and collateral damage, only then the blame would be solely on Crossbones).

Now we see a new magic-based powerset emerging that involves transmutation, matter creation, animating a memory, creating children, and mind-control many of which can even run on auto-pilot. Agatha even points out that Wanda is not limited by power but by knowledge. Her magic is affected by how well she can focus and for this series, much of Wanda\\\'s focus is overwhelmed by grief.

Thus I see it as her effectiveness depends on her mental/emotional stability (PsychoactivePowers) not that they go off at random or she can\\\'t stop using them (PowerIncontinence).
