Does Psychic Ambivalence = OP?

By pirouette2, in Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG

The ability to add +5 to all powers in use for EACH power in use? Am I the only one who sees that as broken? Maybe I'm missing something, so I came here. Say a character has 100 potential. The character would be able to split that up into 20 different powers (5 Potential Each), all in the same action, gaining +100 potential to each power. Not only is that a lot of powers, but each power is actually INCREASED by 5! And what's to stop someone from using those twenty powers to fire twenty Immolates? There's got to be something I'm forgetting, right?

Yeah, its a very good power and the math actually encourages that you spam it with as many powers as you can :)

On saying that I note that you can't split your Psyhic Potential below +10 (see page 192), so its a little harder to spam than you make out. In your example, the PC could only do 10 Immolates. That means he gets +60 Psychic Potential for each use. This would mean that on average he would gain Fatigue 8 (which would floor most PCs) and only get 4 of the Powers off. That's a risky venture compared to getting 2 Fatigue and getting 8 Powers off if the 10 had been done seperately :)

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
