A Special of this type modifies the actual Power Grid of the Character, and not the Power cards or Special cards that the Character might play. For example, a Character with an Energy skill level of 6 (as shown on their "Character Card") can play Energy Power card level 1 through 6. After playing a Special that reads "{ Character's } Energy skill increases to 8 for remainder of Battle," that Character could play Energy Power cards ranging from 1 to 8. The number on the Power card remains the same. Specials of this type can be played offensively and defensively. They may be played in combination with a Power card to make a higher level attack or defensively with a Power card, as a reaction to an attack in an effort to raise a Character's skill levels so that they may attempt a defensive action. If the Special indicates that the bonus is in response to defending a certain type of attack, then the card may only be played defensively, as an avoid and the bonus to the skill follows. In the event you have this Special either placed or in your hand, during the draw phase, if you draw a Power card that would otherwise be unusable by your Characters but can be used if this Special is played you do not have to discard it as unusable. When played offensively, this Special cannot be played on the same turn along with a Universe card. When played defensively, it may be played with a Universe card. This Special may not be played defensively if it is not essential to the defensive move (ie.raising one's fighting skill to 8 while blocking with a 3 strength).A Special of this type modifies the actual Power Grid of the Character, and not the Power cards or Special cards that the Character might play.
