He has wide ranging powers emanating from his multi-faceted positions. In addition to being a religious man, he is a legal expert, teacher, doctor and magician, excluding other strictly secular jobs unconnected with his title which he can hold. This paper scrutinizes the diverse capacities of the marabout.
