Empowerment is a spell that says "Gain one Pip for Incoming spells ranked 4+". But, unfortunately, this otherwise useful spell doesn't quite work that way.
It works fine when you have 0 pips, and just want to gain a bit more turn leverage when stalling for time.
But when you have 7 white pips (or 5 Power Pips and 2 white pips, for example), you don't get a single pip more when further rank 4+ spells are cast at you.
Why is this? By definition, it should function like the similar spell, called Donate Power, whereby if the person you cast it on has, say, 7 white pips, they gain 2 more than that, creating 2 Power Pips. (If they have 7 Power Pips, it has no effect, obviously).
Empowerment does not say: 'Gain one Pip for incoming 4+ spells until you have 7 white pips'. I should be able to use Empowerment to stall until I have full power pips, provided I can survive that long!
Please KI, fix this spell, or change the wording so that people know what they are getting when they train it!
