Of course, he could use his super awesome newfound powers, which he did, but they are annoyingly new and he has yet to fully control them.

His whip cracks throughout the night, sending the first wretched creature down with a haunting screech and rain of blood. Soon, he summons a circle of blue flames, another foe dying while being burned alive. He sees the others fleeing into the night.
