Darkness Only to Activate Advantage in a multipool

[sturmrider]

Hi Mr. Long,

 

I have a player who has purchased Darkness in a multipool with the advantage costs endurance only to activate. The question is if he used that power can he use another power in the multipool in a different round and whether or not the Darkness field will still be there?

 

In other words can he use those points for something else in the next round with the Darkness field remaining and if so when would the Darkness go away when he chooses to dispel it or at a set time?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Regards,

 

Larry

As stated on 6E1 400, if a character uses a Constant Power through a Power Framework, and he re-allocates the reserve/pool points used to create that power, that power immediately ceases to function (absent certain conditions not relevant to this question). Whether the power costs 0 END, half END, END only to activate, or full END doesn't matter -- the power's still a Constant Power, and thus ceases to function when (in this case) the character re-allocates his Multipower reserve.
