This is a Method for using Powers in Action. Methods are a part of Traditions and define how Powers are used in each campaign.
Power Supply
You are dependent on an external supply of energy to work your powers. This could be an electric grid, the universal web of power, the mystic field of force that connects all life, or the attention and good will of a supernatural entity or god. This method tends to be universal; either everyone of a tradition uses it, or no-one does.
Limitations
When you are out of contact or favor with your power supply, your powers don't work. There might be means for others to disrupt this flow of power, but mostly its something between you and your supplier. Unlike similar methods, this supply is either turned on or off at a remote location; it is not something you can carry an inventory of and use as needed, though there might be ways of getting around it.
Focus Condition
Trigger Action (Focus)
Whenever you have been out of supply, your focus sharpens and you have an easier time focusing as your powers come back to you and you can focus at will. How long this condition lasts depends on how long you were out of power; the period of free focus should represent about twice as much actual game time as the period you were out of supply, but is ultimately up to the GM to decide.
