*This* is the problem. There is no difference between normal and extra points, but there should be. If I receive an extra point when I have 0, I actually get an useless point because it would have been automatically refreshed anyway. If I receive an extra point when I have 1, I have the possibility to do things I couldn't do otherwise.
IMHO it makes no sense.
In reply to this comment by lucky760: I think the confusion is that you are separating the points into two different categories: "normal" and "extra."
There is not difference. A point is a point is a point. You just have a collection of points and when you use points, that collection is reduced by the appropriate number.
As far as using 2-point powers, it's a matter of timing. If you already have 1 point, an extra point will give you 2. If you have 0 points, an extra point will give you 1.
ok now I understand, thank you, but... in the FAQs I can't find if it says in what situations you gain power points (other than buying them).
I take it in my profile it says I never used power points because that is about the standard power points, while I only used two extras?
EDIT: I think that using extra points before standard ones is not very nice. Think about what happened here for example. I had 3 points, 1 normal 2 extra. I called an invocation worth 2 points, and it used up my 2 extra points. If I called the invocation before gaining the third point, I take it would have used 1 extra point and 1 standard point, yes? So when I would have got the third point I could have called another 2 points invocation, again spending 1 extra point and 1 standard (when the standard one came back). It doesn't make much sense (though I suppose it's much easier coded this way).
Yes, the maximum is the number of points that get refilled after two days, but there is no limit to how many you can actually possess (i.e., from buying or earning points).
