Working Title: With Great Insanity Comes Great Power: From YKTTW
Kizor: Note to self: Get off your butt, come up with a good definition for Just That Good, and start that article. Power Born of Madness doesn't supersede it, but comes uncomfortably close and a couple of examples will have to be shuffled around. Note to all others: This is well defined and very well written without being overblown. Thanks, folks.
Unless someone objects, I'm going to heavily edit the Aberrant reference, under White Wolf examples. Not only does it contain errors of canon, but the whole "novas without taint can't compete with novas with taint" is pretty much pure opinion without mechanical backing. Taint purchases make a big difference at character generation, but even at early levels it doesn't make that big a difference unless you load up on enough taint to draw meaningful hindrance.
Removed:
'Higher levels of quantum power in Aberrant result in Taint, which leads to... problems. Insanity is not the least of them. It's nearly impossible to compete against more powerful Novas without taking a few points of Taint in the process, and canonically every Nova eventually goes insane from the power.'
Merlo: Removed the Naruto example ("In Naruto, Sakura is immune to Ino's mind control because of her split personality, and in the games it's even able to attack independently"). It's not a real Split Personality, Inner Sakura is a metaphor for Sakura's inner thought process and true personality. Also, Inner Sakura never appears again after the Ino-Sakura fight.
