So if you spend ten power on mooks, they deal 2^10=1,024 damage per player action? 50 Power could be spent on "Eyes on the Winner" for exploding fives, or on making the mooks deal 2^50=over a quadrillion damage?
If I'm reading this right, 22 points spent on mooks would destroy the planet in basically two player actions. If I didn't misunderstand something, that seems like it invalidates any Ability that costs more than a few points of power?
