@Callum

His power would probably be around the same or even greater, but not the effect he has in the Warp. It goes back to the multitasking, you can have all the power you want, but if you can't use it in an effective way you might as well have none.

As for the Golden Throne, Malcador was nowhere near the Emperor's power, but he is still the third, perhaps even second, most powerful psyker the galaxy has ever seen other than maybe some Old Ones or an Eldar God (Not counting the Chaos Gods as they're not actually in the galaxy) Malcador managed to maintain it for several hours, and he was powerful enough to hurl a moon into the warp (The machine only keeps it there). There is every possiblity Malcador was in fact more powerful than Magnus the Red, although it is unlikely, because the throne was designed for Magnus or the Emperor to use, and as such power output would have little to do with it. It'd be like using a weapon meant to be used for a tank or an airplane by hand. It's not impressive if it's fired from a tank, but if a human holds it and takes the recoil of just one shot without being torn apart, that's impressive.

No human psyker exists to this day that can rival the power Malcador held.
