His powers are great because of his knowledge, which he has gathered from his forefathers and in a life of a thousand years before he went to sleep.

He can do things you cannot do.

Thus, he can pass through space and take others with him, and return again.

He can learn what is happening in far-off parts of the world, as he did when he told you of the war in which your country is concerned.

He has terrible powers; for instance, he can kill, as he killed those savages.
