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 Words

You focus your power in exclamations, battle cries, and sharp yells. It is not enough to mumble an arcane formula; you shout the name of your power, berate your target, and otherwise make a nuisance of yourself expressing your power.

Limitation

You cannot use your powers silently. Your words of power need to be audible over your surroundings; in a noisy place your powers themselves might roar. When using Power Words but not focusing, it is not obvious what specific power you are using, only that you are using powers.

Focus Condition

Focus

You must shout out what Limit Break you intend to use at the start of the round. You can only use this specific limit break this round.
