The 'Power' Exertion has two handicap's to it.
Being the first one having it deal backlash damage back to the PC with the amount depending on if or not you have the Silver Mask equiped (even though the damage type being Raw damage compensating a bit for this), and the second having to occupy an armor slot for it to work at it's best.
I'm not complainig about the whole mechanics per say bein it the backlash or having for max. potential it to the head armor slot but it for all that it could have an extra effect to balance it a bit more.
Namely adding an single target two rounds of Staggered effect to it, as the description of Exertion describes when used "You replace your 'Equiped Weapon' and bring your hands together, pressed together at the butts of your palms. After a moment of focus, you draw upon your inner energies, forming a tight sphere between your fingers, and thrust it toward the opponent. The strike lands true, and 'Enemy target' is sent reeling.", fits perfectly whit the suggested effect due to 'reeling' definition being: "... staggering or swaying; unable to walk straight because of a blow, intoxication, etc..." (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/reeling).
That would help to mitigate a bit the next incoming damages from that target (specialy when not using the Silver Mask).
