For reference, how does this implementation of POWER() differ from SQL Server's?

Syntax
POWER ( float_expression , y )
Arguments
float_expression: Is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
y: Is the power to which to raise float_expression. y can be an expression of the exact numeric or approximate numeric data type category, except for the bit data type.
Return Types
Returns the same type as submitted in float_expression. For example, if a decimal(2,0) is submitted as float_expression, the result returned is decimal(2,0).

Good comparison @nchammas, It odes not look like this implementation currently preserves the input type or supports decimal.

Thanks for working on this, but we are trying to clean up the PR queue (in order to make it easier for us to review). Thus, I think we should close this issue for now and reopen when its ready for review.
