I hope we learn something new. I just cant see how the youngest child of MD could outdo Rake. Even despite his superior draconeon form the fact that Rake is the first child of mother dark must count for something. I would say that Ruin is superior to Rake in terms of soletaken forms. However Rake is more adept at using Kurald Galin and therefore a more powerful mage.
I'm not sure that a true comparison between Rake and Ruin is possible at this time. We don't know enough about Ruin or his abilities with or without Kurald Galain to do that.
We do know he has more draconean blood than Rake (drank deeper by far), and that he would have accepted the burden of godhood - something that Rake appears reluctant to do for whatever reason. To my mind that speaks of a much colder, harder and more brutal personality than Rake.
Whether this makes him stronger or more powerful we'll have to wait and see.... and I'm so looking forward to that
