“Brisingr also shows of Galbatorix’s might. He held two powerful dragons and their riders perfectly still hundreds of feet above the ground. He sat in Uru’baen and the spell took place in Gil’ead. Spells cost more the farther you get from the source. Brom and Arya both said that cast a spell over a mile would be tremendous. He casted a spell over what seems to be somewhere in the realm of 40-120 mi. Galbatorix said he could hold the spell for as long as he wanted for he had become LIKE a God”

What he said was actually, “I can keep you thus as long as I want, for I have become as powerful as a god, and there are none who can stop me! . . . I am the greatest of magicians, and soon I will be even greater still.”

“AHEM, I was reading brisingr yesterday and it said that the power inside of Aren Brom’s ring had enough power to destroy a large castle.”

That is correct.

AHEM, I was reading brisingr yesterday and it said that the power inside of Aren Brom’s ring had enough power to destroy a large castle. If you add that Aren’s power to the belt of beloth of the wise, his own power, and his dragon if would of been immense. The only reason why he didn’t use Aren was because he forgot if he had Eragon would of lasted longer and the elves wouldn’t of fainted. “Brom must of squirreled away every bit of energy he could spare the whole time he was hiding in Carvahall. All those years… with what’s in Aren, I could tear apart an entire castle with a single spell.” Brisingr page 202 bottom of the page
“blast it , I’m a moron!- I refuse to say what is actually in the book- I forgot about Aren we could of used the energy from Brom’s ring to hellp defeat them.” page 330 Brisingr middle of the page

“I also seriously doubt he could survive a direct attack from Nicholas the Slide, who’s soul stealing bypasses all magical defenses.”

Nicholas is explicitly vulnerable to psychic attacks. A telepath can enter his mind and incapacitate him at the speed of thought, quicker than he can summon his Slide attack. He can only attack with his Slide powers at normal human reflex time, as evidenced when he was too slow to strike at Richard despite seeing him, and thinking about him. This would prove a fatal weakness when tested against Galbatorix’s immense mental power.
