...u did 500 points of damg by throwing a gaint number 5 at ur enemy
Lol
perhaps something more along the lines of a buff secondary based on mathematical calculation would be more fitting ?
1: Probability: +self def (lethal smashing) +self to-hit
your keen insight into variables and porbability allwo you to predict not only where your enemy will strike but also how where best to target your enemy to maximise you chance to hit (toggle: self minor slow while calculating odds)
2: Possibility: +Special (self, recharge long)
Your ability to calculate formulae allows you to change the possibilities in the world around you. Once activated, this power lasts 30 seconds. During this time any random effects affecting you will always return the more favourable outcome (eg: any roll to hit you makes two rolls and the higher roll is chosen, any roll you make to hit rolls twice and the lower roll is chosen)
3. Analysis: Ally + to hit , ally + damage
Your analysis of a situation improves your ally's ability to hit and cause damage to an opponent (target single ally, recharge medium)
4. Calculations: Ally +secondary effects
By calculating the odds and observing your allies powers you give an insight into how to optimise their secondary effects. any secondary effects of a power gain a 20% increase in effectiveness (target ally, recharge long)
5. Euclyds Posit: PBAoE , Ally +move + range + damage Foe - speed -acc, - def (all except psi)
Through your insights into the laws of Eudlidean geometry you can manipulate the physical environment around you, changing the rules of angles and distance. This effect allows all allies in range to move at a greater speed as you open routes shorter than a straight line. Any foes in the area of effect grow confused as it takes longer for them to move from point a to point b, their accuracy suffers as they try to adapt to the new rules of geometry around them.
6. Fermats Revelation: Self +recharge
By using the theories underlying Fermats famous little theorem, you can decrease the calculation time for other functions.
7. Geomterical Shift: Target :Ally +special Target: Foe -Special
By changing your ally's perception of geometry from the accepted euclidean to eliptical geometry you increase the range of his powers and the size of any AoE effects. If targetted on an enemy, you switch his mindset to Hyperbolic geomtery and thus decrease range and reduce the size of AoE effects
8. String reality: Target AoE: by targeting an area you impose the rules of string realities on all creatures within the area causing the normal concept of three dimensions to have to deal with the string theory expanded 11-dimensional model. All within the AoE that are affected are stunned while their brain adapts to the new rules of physics. Once the stun wears off, those affected have the physical properties of their powers changed randomly (smashing damage becomes lethal or energy or poison or psi , smashing defense protects against PSI or poison instead). - note: even allies within the AoE are affected.
(as an alternative: Bosonic reality: all damage types are changed to an equal mix of smashing and energy no matter what their original source was. all defenses remain the same) Once the affect wears off those affected are once again stunned as they re-adjust (alternative: anyone entering or leaving the area of effect must adjust and so gets stunned).
9: Ultimate prime: Interrupt time: ? Self: +DEF, +Rech, +ACC, +DAM
The ultimate prime number. Possibly the most powerful mathematical force there is. upon realisation of the number your entire SELF becomes whole. mind becomes body and body becomes mind. reality reacts to you and you react to reality as if you are one entity. During this time you become virtually untouchable, unaffected by mez effected, incredibly accurate and your attacks extremely damaging. All secondary effects of your powers are doubled (+100%). However, such knowledge cannot be grasped for long before burning out the user. Once the prime slips from your memory you are left broken and drained of strength both physically and metally (50% health , 5% end , stunned)
anyway, more than likely completely unbalanced.... just off the top of my head.
It looks unbalanced Evangel but it sounds like a grand power to have for the Scientific Wizzboys and masterminds out there.
I think it could be made into a proper power. I would certainly try it out, already there is an evil genius mathematician waiting to get out of his cubicle to improve the world by taking out those pesky statistical anomalies that just should not be.

Well i like it its certinly difrent with a bit of balancing could make a exilent set
You've all missed the most important part though.
What colour would the power effects be ?!
I need to plan cossies 
Fahie
there wouldn't be any effects instead numbers and equations would float around your character
Tier 9 should be Division By Zero
The laws of reality breaks down and a singularity is formed that distorts the space time. The singularity is highly unstable, and a massive excess energy is released when the space time distortion neutralizes.

To be fair, this is a bit of a geeky powerset.
What next? A trainspotting powerset too?

regardless of the plausability of the set itself (of no fixed opinion myself personally) i salute a great bit of creative thinking. some cool power descriptions, yay! 
Although I applaud the thoughts, it all sounds a bit like a certain set of powers from Final Fantasy: Tactics...

That's proper irony. Took me ages to get it :/
Get REAL! Get NUMBERS! Get real numbers... or integers, I'm not fussy.
I have to say, though, that I'm equally enamoured with the idea of other abstract concepts. The idea of trapping someone within an existential paradox or bamboozling them with a conundrum certainly appeals to me and my brainy scientific boffin characters.

Violation via Time/Space/Warp manipulation sounds perfectly decent and/or villainous. A set based massively on confusing the enemy so far that you could pursuade them to chew their own foot off, sounds neat.
Maths? JUST maths?
Sorry, School sucked then, still sucks now

never played any of the FF games so no idea what the similarities are... and you know what they say about great minds and fools !
to those of you who liked the powers I suggested, thank you , i'll be here all week.
to those that dont: someone suggested a math powerset which , though it sounds almost silly, I think in a world clad in spandex , almost anything could be made into a pwoerset if given the proper treatment... trainspotting huh? hmmm.... ok, i did say "almost anything"
No, giving maths teachers inherant powers is bad, ok.

so its in GR then?
cool
That's right. Numbers.
Numerical blast
Mathematical cataclysm
Shield of Calculus
Power of Pi!
etc
... on that note, you could do Alphabetical or Linguistic Powersets too... or a grammatical one which is just apostrophes, commas, question marks and full stops (question points and periods for our yankee readers).
