Hello, I've been trying to design a power and I could really use some help refining it as I still haven't quite got the Power system down yet. 

Power: The ability to create 'minions' that he can command and direct. Think something similar to the Dragonteeth Warriors from Jason and the Argonauts to an extent with them requiring both time and certain conditions to be met before they can be utilized though they are permanent however. While the sample power provided in the Miracle Cafeteria is nearly perfect and the If/Then can do the certain conditions aspects I'm unsure how to cover the time aspect. Would it be a Reduced Capacities flaw or perhaps another If/Then (X amount of time must have passed after activation of this power) kind of thing? What's the best way to go about this?

I think you could do it by just changing out duration with permanent and adding the Delayed Effect flaw to it.

And then you just work out how much delay with the GM. If you want the time to be static, pick a delay. If you want it to be variable, pick a time scale and subtract the width of the roll from it.

So, if you had delayed effect and the time scale was 10 minutes, you could summon them and they'd show up in 50 - (10 x width) minutes. (Width 2 would be 30 minutes.)

Oh, that's a neat fix. Thank you.

You may also want to look at how the Gadgeteering example handles temporary foci that can be made permanent.
