[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 690857, member: 1016"] The Weapon Power already has the device flaw. "By it's nature, this power has the Device flaw, which has been factored into its cost." In addition to that, no power can be reduced to less than 1 PP/Level (Weapon already costs 1 pp/level.) You can have disparate costs between a power and its extras.
