Otherwise you end up with situations like generating AoO when making a ranged touch attack when casting a spell (or manifesting) in addition to the one generated by casting/manifesting.And the armor penalty is based un using Str or Dex to make an attack - a power doesn't really rely on that since there are no gestures involved and it purely mental - although it requires concentration which is why concentration checks are required when grappled and the like - although you can always attempt to manifest a power when grappled (only spells without material/somatic components can be attempted).</blockquote>
