It's very hard to kill people with the power so it probably just looks like torture.
Just consider Rasputin, he was stabbed, poisoned, shot, shot some more and then given a good clubbing.
But that wasn't enough so they cut of his penis, rolled him in a carpet and tossed him in an icy river.
When poor old Grigori was found it appeared he drowned under a layer of ice.
