revenants and their power
Depends entirely on what you mean by “their own”, but since said legends seem to be compelled to lend their aid… by most meaningful measures, I’d say all of it. They cherry pick what they want from what’s available in the Mists, but they use it as they see fit. That’s not so different from any other class, which draw from the ambient magic available in the world of Tyria.

we all know revenants are warriors that channel legendary heroes, long dead.
so how much of their power is their own?
Well, that is difficult to say.
But it is important that I correct you. Revenants do not channel legendary characters, they channel the echoes of legendary characters i.e. the impact these characters have had on the mists. Though these echoes are sentient and have the personality and memory of the legendary characters they are echoes of, they are not the figures themselves (nor are they their souls or what have you).
