He slowly walked to the spacious mall.

He eagerly ate the cold, delicious ice cream.
(I have no idea what a "powerful adjective" is.)

I think Clare means vivid, strong, meaningful adjectives.
For instance, "interesting" is an overused adjective that can be replaced with several "powerful" adjectives.

an interesting book (weak adjective)
an engrossing book
a thought-provoking book
an arresting book
an absorbing book


Hope this helps.

It certainly can be argued that "interesting" is overused.
