The unlimited resources are linked to the powers in two ways:
1. The reason we have them is much the same: Characters which were designed and approved without balance in mind, or whose powers/influence/etc were broadened and broadened until issues came up.
2. Some of the more problematic powers, like Selina's anything creation, Kyle's tech, etc, provide said unlimited resources and information.

I don't actually think Selina's "Anything creation" power is all that OP. First off, doing anything that uses mana can cause her to become exhausted. Secondly, Kyle's tech is what his power pretty much is now. He has a personae, which prevents him from using his original power, thus making him an ordinary person. That means that Kyle's powers are his personae and any perks he gets from leveling up.

Basically, I do not think that Kyle or Selina are OP characters. In fact, I think Will is more OP than Kyle, and Will is a normal person who happens to be a great tactician and good at swordplay and using true-word magic (granted he needs way more years of training to fully use them).

Well we wouldn't have to wipe the slate completely, simply have a look at the characters we have now and nerf the powers which are too op. Then in the future be more strict about what powers we actually allow in the game.

I point out, wasn't Kyles thing originaly wind-magic and that persona?


His tech-stuff is entirely detached from any powers, that's more or less a mundane skill.

Kyle didn't originally have a persona. Sanure has it right though.

No. Who else actually needs it that can be trusted by them to use it strictly for peace? Also, if IRIS ever gets attacked the base will be nuked after reformed and employees are out. If they can not be evacuated the building gets nuked anyways so that none of their knowledge escapes.

The exhaustion was never an actual game mechanic implemented, but me RPing to keep it as such. Thats how I was trying to play the game really, keeping my characters abilities limited on my own.

without a clear idea of how the future is supposed to look, I guess we remain as it is for now.
