- use another power (such as Hasten) or an Accolade Power (such as Geas of the Kind Ones);
- receive a buff (such as Speed Boost or Accelerate Metabolism);
or any combination of these.
Categories
The long text description of powers rates their base recharge time in one of six broad categories. The following table is a rough approximation of the time, in seconds, covered by these categories.
| Very Fast | Less than 3 seconds |
| Fast | 3 to 4 seconds |
| Moderate | 4 to 10 seconds |
