Editing Exalted Redux2:Characters (section)

===Power Level===

This rating is a variable value between 1 and their Permanent Essence.  Anyone with a Permanent Essence higher than 1 is capable of raising and lowering their Power Level at will. In combat, you may increase or decrease your current Power Level by one step at the beginning of your action, though no lower than 1, and no higher than your Permanent Essence.  Power Level represents how forcefully the being is drawing upon the essence of the world, which determines the overall amount of power they have available.  It also determines Anima Flare for Exalts.  For non-anima bearing beings, there are also noticeable affects, but these tend to be much more subtle.
