    Nova Points

    Mega- Attribute                    3
    Enhancement                      3
    Quantum                              5
    Quantum Power (Levél 1)    l

    Italicized items can be bought as tainted powers; tainted powers cost half the normal cost per dot (round up), but they impose one point of permanent Taint per dot so purchased. A
    tainted Level 1 power costs one nova point per two dots purchased.
    Adding an Extra to a Level 1 or 2 quantum power increases the level of the power by one for purposes of purchasing thé power. So, a Level 2 power purchased with an Extra costs five nova points (or three nova points if bought tainted) per dot.
