Winter Warlock losing his powers?

Half way through the film, Jessica asks the Warlock for help. He tells her that his magic is fading, and he doubts how useful he will be... or something along those lines. Why is he losing his powers? To my knowledge they never address the reason, and then at the end of the film the Warlock has his powers back.... :-/

I wanted to know this as well. He said he was "disenchanted". Was it a punishment for being nice? Lol

The Warlock was so powerful because he was cold hearted and had nothing else. When Chris gave him the toy it "melted" and broke his power (psychosomatic). In the end he concentrates to light the tree and (here I'm guessing) realizes he still has his powers.
