Maybe he was lying about being a non-mutant? Maybe he's trying to get a feel for Mags and how this whole situation will play out?

Well technically the thing is he never actually claimed to be a non-mutant or human. He just said he didn't have any powers. So my guess is that his powers have some kind of mental/psychological component or crutch that currently means he's unable to access or utilize them, except maybe under certain conditions? 

I mean, the Fisher King of legend is tied to the land.....as he ails, the land he rules over declines sympathetically/symbiotically. It was a twist on divine mandate.....his personal injury was in the original legends a kind of symbolic wound that implied things about his Right to Rule....and because the land he ruled over was thus by extension not ruled by someone Worthy, it suffered as a result.

Now take into account the fact that multiple Arakki characters have referred to Arakko as ‘The Broken Land’ (the Great Ring member Xilo is called Xilo, First Defender of This Broken Land....and the current arc of X-Men Red had promo materials talking about A Broken Throne for a Broken Land).....and my guess is the Fisher King’s powers include some kind of connection to Arakko as a whole. 

And thus his current powerlessness is symptomatic of either something specifically wrong with Arakko itself, or there’s some kind of character/emotional flaw in the Fisher King that’s preventing him from using his powers and fulfilling whatever duty or obligation he’s supposed to have as a member of the Night Table....with this impacting Arakko and its people overall.
