Gun Fu Power Trappings
When shots, single or multiple, are required for a
power the ammunition is expended as part of the
power use. The weapon's RoF doesn't apply (it's
magic) and no Shooting roll is required unless the
power normally requires a Shooting roll. However,
the Shootist's weapon must have the required
number of bullets loaded and they are expended by
the power.
