Followup: Buying only 5 Points worth of Mind Blaster or Major/Severe Transform

[Christopher]

The rules in the APG and 6E1 always only mention that it is okay to buy half dice/pip for adding Damage to an already existing attack.

They never state if a character could buy only 0.5d6 or 1 Pip of Mind Blast/Killing Attack/Major Transform/Severe Transform.

 

Or in simpler words:

Is it nessesary to always buy at least one full dice, before buying 1/2 dice or +1? Or could an Attack Power Consist exclusively of 1/2d6 die or 1 pip?

Published books contain plenty of examples of 1/2d6 and 1 point Killing Attacks. A character could certainly buy other Attack Powers similarly, though in many cases such attacks are going to be of at best limited use absent certain Advantages or the like.
