That she seems to have a natural skill at magical acts of power is the reason why Madame Morrible uses Elphaba Thropp. Madame Morrible has powers of her own. But she realizes her limitations. Her particular skill is the ability to see whom she needs to manipulate to get what she wants. She wants power over the animals and peoples of Oz. She sees Elphaba as a means to achieving that end.
