I found this section unclear:
A character can change the way his Multipower reserve points are distributed or allocated as a Zero Phase Action. However, unless the GM permits otherwise, he may not distribute or allocate reserve points more than once in a Phase. For example, he could not allocate reserve points to a Teleportation slot at the beginning of his Phase, make a Half Move with Teleportation, then re-allocate points to his Blast slot and attack with the Blast — having allocated his reserve points once already at the beginning of his Phase, he cannot change that allocation until his next Phase (or unless he Aborts to do so in a later Segment).
Now, the rule as written suggests that, if during phase 1 I used my multipower to teleport (allocating points), during phase 2 I would be able to teleport (no allocation required, as it was already allocated), change my multipower to blast, and attack. However, the example suggests that this isn't legal. Which understanding is correct?
