A bit late posting on this end, but here’s Diana. Decided to draw some evergreens from Don’t Starve in the background.

So, when Zatanna debuted in Batman: The Animated Series she was just an ordinary stage magician with no magic powers but later when she appeared in Justice League Unlimited she had actual magical powers. So why didn't she initially have her magical powers?
In the JLU tie in comic, Justice League Unlimited #40 by writer Ben McCool and artist Dario Brizuela (link), we get some answers:
We find out that as a child Zatanna misused her powers so Zatara had them taken away from her:
(Shout out to the artist Dario Brizuela and colorist Heroic Age, this sequence is beautifully drawn)
Zatara comes off as a good parents in sequence; fair but not harsh or stern and willing to correct his child when she does wrong.
In the present day Zatanna wakes up and we learn that her father disappeared at some point and since Zee can use magic, it's likely she figured out how to tap into some of her abilities over the years:
Zatanna and Doctor Fate head to Central City where Shadow Thief has run amok causing everyone's shadow to come alive and attack everyone.
After some light dissing on Captain Boomerang (oh hey, look it's Alan Scott):
The JL takes on the 8 story tall shadow monster whilst Zatanna and Doctor Fate track down who could be responsible for augmenting the Shadow Thief's powers which leads them to....
......the Warlcok of Ys and Zatara himself! The Warlock is from one of the earliest Zatanna stories (link).
Despite Warlock's attempts to restrain them, Zee manages to tap in to her power and take on the Warlock:
"You're so gonna wish I had my morning coffee!" XD Ngl that panel cracked me up.
Sadly the father/daughter reunion doesn't last but we do get a touching moment nonetheless:
Zatara doesn't come off as the best of fathers in this story but I love the continued affirmation that the League members are her family. The power pulsating in Zatanna's mind is obviously referring to the Medulla Gem and the line about 'his people' is a reference to the Homo Magi, both of which are pulled from Sindella's story and Zatara being forced to stay away from Zatanna is pulled from Zatanna's debut story 'Zatanna's Search'. It looks like the writer combined both stories into one.
Sadly, this plot point is never followed up on. But it was cool to see a writer, especially one for a tie in book do a deep dive on a characters history. Usually tie in comics are treated as an after thought but there are times when the stories are as good if not better than the show.
As for Shadow Thief, well no story, especially one with a Green Lantern, is complete without a trebuchet showing up in some form:
