In a game, my friend was trying to use the ability of evoked Reveillark. In his graveyard, he targeted Mulldrifter and Multani, Maro-Sorcerer. His hand was at full. And no one argued about it.
I think that he couldn't take Multani with Reveillark because at that time Multani's power is 7+. Was it right or wrong? Can anyone give me the Comprehensive Ruling about this?

Multani has what's called a Characteristic-Defining Ability, and that's tracked in ALL zones. You were correct.
Relevant rulings:
112.6a Characteristic-defining abilities function everywhere, even outside the game. (See rule
604.3.)
604.3. Some static abilities are characteristic-defining abilities. A characteristic-defining ability
conveys information about an object’s characteristics that would normally be found elsewhere on
that object (such as in its mana cost, type line, or power/toughness box). Characteristic-defining
abilities function in all zones. They also function outside the game.
604.3a A static ability is a characteristic-defining ability if it meets the following criteria: (1) It
defines an object’s colors, subtypes, power, or toughness; (2) it is printed on the card it affects,
it was granted to the token it affects by the effect that created the token, or it was acquired by
the object it affects as the result of a copy effect or text-changing effect; (3) it does not directly
affect the characteristics of any other objects; (4) it is not an ability that an object grants to
itself; and (5) it does not set the values of such characteristics only if certain conditions are met.
