Age =/= power. It can, but doesn't necessarily. You're confusing correlation and causation. Age doesn't cause power, but older things TEND to have more power. After all, the Pagan dieties very likely came before the Archangels, yet Lucifer slaughters them without any hint of trouble, and he wasn't even in his true vessel (so he couldn't use the full range of his powers without further damaging Nick).
