Valar and Maia abilities?

[Galadriel55]

Well, each one has his/her own specific abilities, in addition to the power that they all posess. For example, Este can heal from weariness, Vana makes flowers bloom by looking at them (or mybe she doesn't make them, they just do.... I dunno).

I'd say yes but also no. Eru is the ultimate source of creation, but the Valar made Arda. It's possible that Eru created al material, and the Valar just "made it tidy", but it's also possible that for that time period, they could actually create something out of the Imperishable Flame. I don't know. Maybe not. I'm too confused myself to answer properly.



Generally, though, they have the same power as Eruhini, except magnified. In a way, they are Eruhini's older siblings. They are superhuman only to a small extent.
