Like you said, Scott not healing was mental. It wasn't bc he lacked the power to heal. I'm pretty sure that was specifically addressed in 5B. IMO, it's not about how similar or different Scott is. Scott being a werewolf is irrelevant when the pack your talking about is human. There's no power to be drawn from humans, and therefore, no human could add power to a pack. You cant draw power from a powerless source. Just because Stiles is human (or Mason or Alison) doesn't mean they can't add their power to the pack.

I think it has less to do with a spark and more about synergy and pack mentality. I know it seems impossible seeing as humans don't have the same powers and abilites so you would think they can't add to a wolf pack.

I think even Talia who was known for her wisdom was unable to draw strength from the human members of her family (Once again I can only guess) because she was a basic alpha.

But that is both the beauty and glory of a true alpha. To be able to form a pack-like connection with humans of even other supernatural creatures (we don't know if basic alphas can gain strength in a wolf pack).

If Talia had nothing but humans, than no, she would not have the strength she would have if she had a pack of werewolves. But I think if Scott had nothing but a pack of humans than he could draw power from their bond and they could do so likewise.

I am not saying the humans gain werewolf abilities. Like I said it is all about metaphysics.

It's like Deucalion said about werewolves being like gears in a machine and adding their strengths to the pack. I am sure humans and other supernatural creatures could join any pack, but they wouldn't be able to tap into that connection. Yes they could still be useful by adding manpower and their wisdom to the pack.

Plus we don't know how much power a werewolf or a pack gains when a new member is added.

Forgive me if I am repeating myself.
