Abilities
Miresk was an exceptionally powerful mage with a vast array of spells at his disposal. He was also particularly skilled in alchemy, arcana and spellcraft, and the knowledge of history. He knew a good deal about nature, religion, and the planes of existence as well.

Possessions
"The Triad" was said by his students to provide the Magus Senior with the powers of several ioun stones in addition to acting like a rod of negation and a source of limitless unseen servant, hold portal, and hold monster spells. Miresk could use any of these powers without actually having to make contact with the floating Triad.
