But omniscience doesn't entail omnipotence in the same way, so it's logically possible, I guess, that a being could be omniscient but not omnipotent. But could it be totally impotent? I doubt it, in the strict sense, since the ability to continue existing is a potence. But only exist, just to watch with no ability to affect anything? I don't see any logical inconsistency here.
