Still, even if that wasn't the case, it wouldn't mean Aladdin is particularly strong.

Knowing how to turn the Rukh into the most effective kind of magic is what makes a magician strong, and Aladdin is still a newbie on this. A highly talented one, yes, but still far behind high level magicians.
Go read chapter 78 again. Watch Yamu's face when he fires his heat blast thing.

Magi, because of their power, are by definition stronger than magicians. Yamu could have defeated him at the beginning because she could counter power with technique, but if she didn't finish him fast enough he'd beat her. And now he can cast those advanced magics with that same level of power he used previously, and he won't run out of power no matter how long he fights.

About Ugo, he was supplying him energy, which is why he'd get tired after a while. But then Ugo used his own magic, and Aladdin couldn't replenish that. Or at least that's how I interpreted it.
