This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.

Manual of Power

Your powers are recorded in some kind of manual, tome, or device; a large but portable object that you need to occasionally check up on in order to use your powers.

Limitation

If you lose access to your manual, you cannot use Limit Break powers. If you cannot access your manual for 24 hours, you lose access to all your powers.

Focus Condition

Trigger Action (Focus)

As your first action in a round you can take out your manual and use it to power up. Your power recharger is now in your hands, where it is vulnerable to stunts and prevents you from using other hand held items such as weapons, tools, or blast foci for the rest of the round. Notice that a manual of power can itself be an implement, usually a Tome. You can only use this method in an action scene.
