Some powers are activated, and some are intrinsic. Adept
powers that need to be activated before they have
any effect have an activation cost listed in the power’s
description (usually an action of some sort). When a
power doesn’t list an activation cost, their effect is intrinsic—
you don’t have to take any action to gain the
benefit of the power.
Adept Drain: Some powers cause Drain. The Drain
from adept powers is Stun unless specified in the description,
and is resisted with Body + Willpower.
