Mmm, energy is a good plan.
I was going to suggest Energy & Energy Pool, myself but I was beaten to it.
Interesting. I hadn't actually noticed the overlap until you just mentioned it, which implies it isn't confusing.
OTOH, you could always pick another synonym. Energy pool, perhaps?
Do you think it'd be too confusing using the word "power" for [Steam], [Electrical] etc, when "power" already has a Magic meaning for a creature's attack strength? (Cf the two Magic uses of the word "counter", and the recent terminology change of "battlefield" and "cast" to avoid the duplication of the word "play".)
I wonder if it should have trample. Given its other mechanic it'd definitely work well with it, but I wonder if that might be a bit too good. Given there are cheap ways to drop artifacts onto the battlefield like Master Transmuter and Trash for Treasure, it probably would.
Heh, Behold the Power of Destruction? Yeah, I could go with that :)
I can see the picture being that one from the archenemy set.
Mmm, 4 or 5 would probably be okay. It was just a guess at what'd be a fair cost; it's unknown yet how easily the "WUBRG" of powers will be to achieve. 6 feels a bit more "big scary artifact" to me. We can reexamine it once I've got a few more cards up.
Nah, I only added the details pages after your last comments :) (And to type square brackets in comments, at the moment you have to escape them with backslashes:

.)I was thinking I could make power work like you describe, but it’d be implicit in the definition of power (so probably in reminder text on all the commons and uncommons). I'm not sure the flavour benefit is worth the fiddliness, though.
