The second one. If you activate an Automatic Power with Attached(Power A) and Duration with Power A, and then cancel Power A but not the Automatic one, your Automatic power will keep "rolling" sets (that have no effect, because the power it's Attached to isn't producing sets). If you reactivate Power A, the Automatic Power will be active again.
It's sort of an edge case.

Sean --I agree with John about Attached (and Automatic). Attached, by the book, means that you can only get a set with the quality when the quality (or miracle, skill, or stat) that it's attached to has a set. Duration, etc. implicitly repeat the initially rolled set until the duration ends or it's canceled.Oh, and any Attached quality that doesn't have Permanent will require you to roll an action to activate.The description of automatic says "...unless its already activated via the Duration or Endless extra."
I thought that meant it would go automatically when the primary goes.
Does it instead mean "if it was previously activated in the scene it doesn't need to be rolled again?"
Permanent lets you roll it instantly as a non-action as soon as the power it's attached activates. If you want complex transformations with Size Shift or power mimicry to take longer (requiring multiple sets, and/or sets over additional turns) leave it as-is. I'd ditch Automatic, though, since it requires you to attempt multiple actions with Automatic powers EVERY TIME you activate the quality it's attached to, even if you don't need to change size or emulate powers!Also, I actually find your spreadsheet power layout hard to read, and it makes the message long enough that it's getting clipped by Gmail or Google Groups (so I have to open the full message in another tab). I'm personally more likely to offer feedback if it's in a more concise format, like the common one used in the books.I agree on the spreadsheet format. It didn't convert into the email/groups format very nicely. That's why I converted my examples to the format I swiped from the book. Easier to read.
