Learning and mastering advanced curses and spells that takes years for 99.99% of witches and Wizards to get a moderate handle on. Commanding the heavens like Zeus. An entire lab to breed beasts, god mode potions & a garden of deadly vegetable and plants. Oh, and this negro controls the force like he's a jedi.
