Hi,

In my view, Aragorn has two types of power.

First of all he is the rightful heir of Isildur so has semi-'magical' healing ability and the 'right' to use the Palantir.

Secondly he has the benefit of experience from a long life as a warrior and ranger. After all he fought successfully for the Rohirrim and Gondor (burning the ships of the Corsairs) before LoTR even started.

Additionally he's an elf friend and must have gained much lore from Elrond (who raised him as a father).

OK that's three!
