Old Ones magic

So what powers and abilities would the Old Ones have? All of them? Or just the magic that's uses their power word names?

All of it and I do mean ALL of it.

Except the power "negate magical slumber from the three heroes".

They'll know all of it (that is each of them will know all magic, aside perhaps one or two extremely obscure things developed after their time. It's not that they couldn't figure it out given some info on it, or learn in within minutes, just they've been asleep. Example being Thoth's Rune Strike).

They likely only focus and are more amazing at their particular corner of magic.

They likely do have Negate Magical Slumber, just they need to be awake to cast it :p
Getting a mage to tell you where the hydra is...10,000 gold
Hiring a summoner... 40,000 gold
Hiring one hundred 10th level mercenaries... 98,567 gold
Giving a hydra skull to your necromancer... priceless

Board? Read bad fan fiction!
