"Power" is simply your ability to affect the narrative, not "power" in the sense of shooting lasers from your eyes, but, alas, people cling to connotation more than definition, and the term was not the best one to use, accurate though it was.You can, in fact, write 4E without the 4E power format, in the same way that you can convert any prior edition into the 4E format. It mostly goes to show how much psychology trumps substance.--I do not believe that magic needs to be different than non-magic, especially since there is no distinct line between the two once you start getting into fire elementals punching dudes and hitting someone with a Molotov cocktail. One is an expression of force using meat, the other is an expression of force using fire. There's no reason outside of psychology to have those behave differently, and not everyone shares that psychology. Thankfully, options can be designed for a multitude of psychologies.</blockquote>
