Power. The ability to influence, create, change, and even destroy. Things, places, people. It is by nature highly contentious: Some want it and would kill for it, others do not want it, or would gladly give away such a burden. Therein lies the rub. For all its force, blessings, or ability to change, power is not free... of responsibility, consequence, or cost. Some people think the exchange has to be "fair". Be Careful What You Wish For... Drama derives vigor from the quandary of how power, seemingly free of any strings, has inherent costs. Whether they are hideous mutations, social alienation, or even death varies by story, genre, and kind of power. But the underlying basis is the same: Power at a Price. Sometimes this manifests in the form of requiring damage to be caused by oneself to be able to use these powers. Often a common result of a Lovecraftian Superpower. See also Necessary Drawback and Weakness Tropes. Compare Death or Glory Attack. For related tropes, see Price of Power Index. |
