Quantum Pool

Characters may take a ‘quantum pool’ limit on the use of powers. Each power taken this way has a limit on number of uses or duration of use. Activating a power costs 1 quantum, maintaining a power costs 1 quantum per [Power Level of Character] turns. Treat this as a drawback, reducing the cost of any powers taken thus by a fixed number of power points.
25 Quantum = -1pt
10 Quantum = -2pts
5 Quantum = -3pts

Example: Blast (Quantum Bolt) Rank 8 costs 16 power points. If the Quantum Bolt had a limit of 25 shots it would cost 15 power points. 10 shots would cost 14 power points. 5 shots would cost 13 power points.

Recovering - Quantum Pool is recovered at the end of a scene/encounter for every power. A character may also use extra effort to instantly replenish the quantum pool of a power.

Taint

Characters acquire Taint through a variety of means. Extra Effort (Maxing) - In place of suffering fatigue, a character may take a point of temporary Taint to use extra effort. Tainted Extra Effort does not count toward a character’s limit on using extra effort once per action.
Power Botch - If a character rolls a natural ‘1’ when using a power they have applied Extra Effort to, they risk gaining Taint. Make a Fortitude Save (even if you are Immune to Fortitude Effects), at a DC of 10 + [Power’s Enhanced Level]. Failure garners the character 1 point of Taint for every application of Extra Effort applied.
Madness - In extreme situations, mental stress may cause Taint on its own. The GM may call for a Will save, DC 10 + [the character’s Power Level], modified by the situation. Failure gives the character a point of Taint.
