Fades

From D20advanced

FADES		-1 Modifier

Each time you use an FX with this flaw, it loses 1 character point (not rank) and a commensurate amount of effectiveness. For FX with a duration longer than instant, each round is considered “one use.” Once the FX reaches 0 points (or below the minimum cost for one rank), it stops working. A faded FX can be “recovered” in some fashion, such as recharging, rest, repair, reloading, and so forth. The GM decides when and how a faded FX recovers, but it should generally occur outside of combat and take at least an hour’s time. The GM may allow a character to recover a faded FX immediately and completely by spending a hero die. The Slow Fade extra reduces the rate at which an FX fades.
