Context under the cut

There’s not necessarily a “purpose”, that’s just his power and concept. Shii personally does not like the idea of Death being used as a weapon or a means in a fight-- Death is a natural end, which is how it should be, natural. When animals first started evolving Shii was actually pretty horrified of things like hunting and fighting.

Fortunately Shii’s powers have never been abused or used in a battle, as his Miraculous was hidden away not long after it’s creation.

Positive energy isn’t good. Negative energy isn’t evil. Too much or too little of either is bad-- it needs to be kept in balance. One member of each Alpha Duo aligns with either side, and they can manipulate these energies, which could result in good or evil depending on how it’s used. 

In can be used to fuel various powers. So Tikki takes the negative energy of the akuma, purifies it, and uses that energy to fuel her Miraculous Ladybug. 

Plagg could theoretically “cleanse” the butterfly as well, but it wouldn’t be purifying-- they would actually be absorbing the negative energy and drawing it into themselves. From here it would either have to be released as a Black Storm, or they would need Tikki’s help to turn it into a neutral energy.

In my headcanons, Tikki’s purifying/cleansing abilities applies to all “positive energy” Alphas. So Vitaa, Tikki, Graay, and Flikker can all manipulate positive energy, and purify negative energy.

I also headcanon that Plagg gets three powers-- Cataclysm, Black Storm, and corrupting energy. Like with Tikki, Plagg’s ability to corrupt energy and manipulate it applies to all “negative energy” Alphas: Shii, Plagg, Prrysm, and Corri.

As for why Vitaa and Shii don’t another power, it’s just because I haven’t thought of any others I think fit them, but that could change in the future. But number of powers don’t decide strength, it just means there’s multiple ways to manipulate their concept. For example Yuume can manipulate both dreams and nightmares in various ways, but that’s because they’re both a type of dream. But that doesn’t make him more powerful than someone like Fluff, who only has “Burrow”.
