Hi
Please help me with the meaning of the underlined portion
Context: The person who did not believe in magic finds himself possesses magical powers.
The Man Who could Work Miracles By H G Wells
Some how in the small hours he had reached the fact that his will-power must be of a particularly rare and pungent quality, a fact of which he had certainly had inklings before, but no certain assurance. The scare and perplexity of his first discovery was now qualified by pride in this evidence of singularity and by vague intimations of advantage.

Let me paraphrase the last sentence: When he first discovered this, he was frightened and confused. But now, he was also proud because it gave him proof that he was unique and it suggested that he could use this ability to help himself. Does this help?
