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. Notice that a manual of power can itself be an implement, usually a Tome. If your power manual is lost, you can replace it, but that is a major undertaking and only happens between adventures; you are usually better off trying to find it again.

Limitation

You need to spend an hour with your manual before each session, keeping your powers up to date. If you fail to do this, you suffer power failure. Note that you need not carry your power manual on your person, you only need to consult it once per session.

Focus Condition

Basic Action (Focus)

You can use your manual of power to focus, but this is a Basic Action for you. You must actually carry the manual to do so.
