@ NemebroIf you read it carefully, it says that was their role. Therefore the power remains and Kain empowers his own magic.
@ Q'Anilia: and why only those particulour fields? any field and any magic in general would be fair game, because it says they regulate other magic, not just those types. Please explain.
It says "of the other magic in Nosgoth". Those listed are the only aspects in Nosgoth.
Saying Kain can regulate magic that he's never before experienced is illogical. It'd be like saying that Medivh from Azeroth could regulate Bankai from Bleach. It's nothing he's ever come across before. He can't possibly deal with it, because he doesn't know what he's dealing with. It's also not linked to his source of power.
As i said to Nemebro, that was simply claiming "role", its the same with most subjects spoken about in that sentence:
The role of the Balance Guardians was a reglatory one; their magic influenced the regulation of the other magic in Nosgoth. We can identify three Balance Guardians, pictured above.
Not really, mainly because Kain is regulating magic as a whole, whether he has experianced it or not is neither here nor there. Infact its not even a factor. And what do you mean by talking of "linked to his source of power", Kain regulates magic itself so he could simply make the magic part of his source of power.
Also thats a bold claim to make for a universe you know little of, you claim those listed are the only aspects in Nosgoth, thing is their simply concepts, just because the main pillar concepts in Nosgoth happen to be those forces or perhaps the most important or powerful kinds of magic does not mean to assume they are the only. But in the end it is relevant, your reading it like its a statement of what he can do, when in the end the only statement is the regulation, the rest is just what his role is in Nosgoth, obviously he is not in Nosgoth and when threatened by a character in a debate he will not care which magic he regulates. He would just drain/destroy it.
It states he can regulate magic, so.....unless you can give reasons why Kains magic is not part of that power then you have no case, thats like saying prove "link can use strength against Kain and not just against rocks", "prove Kratos can use strength against Dante, and not just against Atlas"

No, this is a discussion on how Kain is going to use his infnite magic regulatory powers to empower his own magic to infite levels, so were deciding on what Kain is going to use, energy, time, dimension etc to defeat Megaman.

It directly states(this was after their ROLE was stated, the only thing about their role that was stated was that it is a regulatory one), that they use THEIR magic to INFLUENCE the OTHER magic in Nosgoth. Nothing about his own. This is speculation. Nothing more. You assume he can regulate his own magic when it is never stated or implied.
It was never stated that the purpose of Link's strength was against rocks and the purpose of Kratos' was against Atlas.

That is still their role, the entire line is their role, it claims their role was regulatory then it explains why their role was thus, which is what semicolon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon) typically means, its an explanation since really it was just a pause in the sentance, not a new one. The rest of the description is an independant claus and its subject was the role of balance guardians which is why the whole description is about the role of balance guardians, thing is, kain would not take into account his role in Nosgoth when he could eliminate his enemies with infnite magic power.
It was never stated the use of regulation is just to regulate other magic, that was just the role of a balance guardian in Nosgoth. And if the purpose of links strength or Kratos' was to do those things, then that would not mean that is all they can do using strength.....altho tbh, Links only purpose of that high 1000+ ton (accaording to screamy) strength in the game is to do that, so you would be wrong.
