Sanctaphrax:
Thanks.
I'll get to work on the list update now.

Energy-Purge[-5]
Charging. The maximum Charge is 300%, this can be spent on other things, but the way to recharge is by absorbing large amounts of energy be it magical, electrical, solar.
The first way is by taking stress from an energy-based attack, you get 10% for each 1 stress taken. The second way is through taking a basic action to charge from an large energy source (no batteries), the most common electricity, each source has a Charge rating
and if you charge from it you gain 10% per point of Charge rating (Charge:4 gives 40%). You also have Armor:2 against all energy-based attacks.
Energy Overload. You can spend up to 60% Charge to make an energy-based attack. Roll Weapons to attack, and the Weapon rating is 1/10% ( 10% makes Weapon:1). This can also be a zonewide attack as long as you pay more then 30% Charge (Weapon:3 Zonewide) , It can also be range but only as long as you pay 40% ( Weapon:4 Range, maybe Zonewide).
Cellular Augmentation. By infusing the excess energy into your cells you can increase their growth rate, efficiency, and strength by enormus amounts. You can pay to increase any physical abilities (Strength, Speed, Toughness, Recovery) by one step for each payment, you can increase them from, Nothing to Inhuman-40%, Inhuman to Supernatural 70%, Supernatural to Mythic 120%. These abilities purchased only last for the duration of the scene unless canceled.
Dead Battery. You need at least 40% Charge to use this ability, if you have under 40% or 0% then you cannot use any of the abilities except Charging, if this is put on an Item of Power, the IOP won't function.
ways and means:
Spectral Light Wings [-2]
You can generate wings of pure light, they work in the same fashion as normal wings but can be created at will.
Also add +2 to your presence rolls against opponents that can be impressed by wings of transcendent white light. (non-supernaturally aware, religious).
Purpose [+1] Requires at least 2 refresh worth of affected Powers
You can only use these powers when you are fulling your specified purpose (such as slaying demons etc) these powers are not available at any other time.
Sanctaphrax:
Energy-Purge is interesting, and I like the idea of gaining and spending energy in combat.
But the charging mechanics seem wonky. What stops me from sitting down at an ordinary electrical socket and acquiring 300% charge, which I could then use to acquire two Supernatural abilities and two Inhuman ones?
Plus the stress-based charging is a bit weird thanks to the abstract nature of stress.
Also, I can't see myself choosing the weapon option over the Power option. It just seems so much less good.
Two things that need clarification: If my battery goes dead, what happens to Powers that I've purchased with Charge? And if I want to buy Powers, does that take an action?
Spectral Light Wings looks like a stunt and the Wings Power put together. Why make it its own thing?
Purpose strikes me as bad. This is what Compels are for.
