FREd states on p.209 that a VPP is normally built as a set of powers with a certain broad class of SFX, e.g. Magic, Gadgets, Mentalism, etc. The limitations chart at the bottom of the page lists "Only Magic" as a slightly limited class of power, for a -1/4 limitation. This would imply that normally, most VPPs should qualify for this level of limitation, and only a Classic "Cosmic Power Pool" which can be anything at any time, meaning literally anything - no common SFX required - would not have the -1/4 limitation. However, in the examples given on the following page, only the mimic pool has a limitation regarding what sort of powers/SFX can be put in the pool; the gadget and magic pools do not.
So, does a VPP get a -1/4 limitation for having a common SFX component, or not?
