The description of Change Environment includes discussion of an adder: Varying Combat Effects and an advantage: Varying Effect.
From the way they are described it is difficult to know how they differ.
My interpretation is this:
The Varying Combat Effects Adder allows the user to vary effects after activating the power. Changing the effect is a half phase action and may be done in the ways described without the need to re-roll to hit (which is to say an equal number of levels of an effect of equal or lesser cost).
The Varying Effect Advantage allows the user to vary the effects between different uses but may not alter the effect once it is established. The mechanism for deciding how many levels of the alternate effect are available is not discussed. One can assume that the mechanism is the same as that for the Adder but this is not made explicit.
Is this interpretation correct?
If not, what is the correct interpretation of these features?
If it is does the Adder not make the advantage almost entirely superfluous?
