Psychic powers

My theory is that psychic powers are X-linked dominant(X chromosome) so they have a higher chance to manifest in women (XX) than in man (XY). As of now, we have Wednesday, Morticia, Hester, Goody, Ophelia, Rowan's mother as psychics in the show and even if s3 whacks us with a male psychic character, my theory would be correct bc males can still inherit the X chromosome from their mothers.

The whole Raven vs. Dove seems to be more about the individual and how they see the world so I'm not gonna take that into account.

So far, the Frump line seems to have a solid connection to psychic abilities that manifest in women. As for Goody Addams, a possible theory is that she is one of those individuals where the gene first mutated into the psychic gene, but I'm not fully convinced of that one.

Electricity

For electricity I would say it's Y-linked dominant bc as of now all characters with electric powers are males (Gomez, Fester, Pugsley). Or it could be X-linked recessive, in which case Wednesday would carry both the psychic and the electricity gene. But in that case the probabily of both Gomez and Fester to manifest it would be low (25%) so my bet is on Y-linked dominant.

Of course, both electricity and psychic could be an autosomal (on any other chromosome than the X and Y ones) trait, not saying no to that (but I find the sex correlation a bit off in that case).

I do not have enough information to say about the rest of the powers, but given Capri's case (werewolf with hyde father) I'd say both hyde and werewolf genes are autosomal, with the hyde gene being autosomal recessive and the werewolf gene being autosomal dominant.

The very very first elves lived in the Feywild, and supposedly came around from Corellon's spilled blood in his battle with Gruumsh, the god of orcs. Back then, they could shapeshift and were extremely powerful. His favorites went on to become his pantheon, not-yet-Lolth included.

Stands to reason that since they literally came from the blood of a god, they should be something analogous to aasimar. Further proof of this: the Avariels were winged elves from way back in history.

Along came a band of Aen Elle. Notoriously world-hoppy and power-hungry, they intermingled with Corellon's blood kids in an effort to get some of their power. Corellon's bloodline loses its ability to shapeshift and become the Eladrin, not quite fey anymore (save for the ones that didn't migrate to Toril because they got steeped in the Feywild for 30k more years after that, but they're not important here).

Also notoriously xenophobic and seeing other non-elf races as beneath them, the Aen Elle back home get appalled by this and cut the elves that intermingled off. The Eladrin are disowned and disinherited by the Aen Elle.

-30k DR. The first elves come to Toril. More elves eventually settle. Etc etc, all of elven history, we now have Moon, Sun, Wood, Wild, and Drow.

Back in Witcher-world (forever mad that the planet/continent doesn't have a name) 2k years pre-Conjunction, some Aen Elle split off from the whole and eventually become the Aen Sidhe. Also post-Conjunction, Lara Dorren happens. All of Continental history here, etc etc.
