Power Enhancements

When using powers there is the opportunity to enhance the game effect of the powers. Most powers have their own list of enhancements, but all powers may have the generic enhancements applied to them as well.

Enhancements cost NRG and can be used when the power is activated. Or as a soft action can be applied to active powers changing their effect. Enhancements may be removed as a Soft action to regenerate NRG.

Some Powers will have the Generic Enhancements included at a reduced NRG cost.
