No one ever said that his power exceeded the Guru's.
I don't see Magus making a time egg, a time machine, or being omniscient.
Heck, the Masamune weakened him, and it was made by Melchior.
The exact quote was supposed to mean that Janus too had power, frightening amounts, but he kept it sealed and hidden because he saw what it had done to hsi mother, and saw how Schala hated using her own.
Re-read my previous post. Magus may have been able to harness his true power over time. It's stated that he had more than anyone else, yes. But, question again, how did Magus know a "Schala" existed in the present era...
Do you think the Gurus had more power than the Queen?
I don't see the Gurus as all so powerful. What I can tell, Melchior got owned by Dalton. As for Melchiors dreamstone affecting Magus, I can easily counter that with the story of Samson and Delilah in the Bible.
No, you can't counter it. That's the bible, not CT.
Anyway, The Guru's had some powers greater than the Queen. She in general was like uber powerful. But no one was stronger than Melchior in harnessing life. No one was smarter than Belthasar, and no one had more of a grasp of time and how to control it than Gaspar.
And Melchior really didn't get pwned. Dalton is like a general, sure he has some fire magic or such, Melchior didn't get hurt or anything, he was walking around fine after, he just got knocked out, and remember that he is old.
And Schala, we've seen her barrier technique. She's got a lot up her sleve, but we don't see much.
