Rules question that just came up--can you go above 20 memory? I just had a very good "rest of the day" phase and gained 11... 0_0

Just had a playthrough (my fourth or fifth?) where I got to 20 power in 9 days!!! Lots of incredible strings of luck, had 2 days where I locked 5 in a row and only had to pay 1 memory for the 6th. I did end up getting and using 1 of my items, but didn't end up mattering in the end anyway, just amounted to a +1 memory buffer. My Amulet of Focus is kind of OP when used with Stare, since you can always use it to negate a double and guarantee 2 power. But you have to be in a place to not need memory instead, so it just happened to line up that playthrough that I managed to Stare 8/9 days, 7 of which succeeded.
Sadly, in the end I realized that I had merged with the great power and had to destroy us both... RIP, at least I died a hero.
