The only way to make and save new powers is to use the editor and if the power in the editor is not able to be copied is to open the program twice and then you can copy and paste that way, It's not easy but once you get the hang of the editor it becomes a lot easier to make new powers to use. I'm not the best at explaining things, I just jumped in and started to play with the editor and help from other people on the forum was able to figure out things. I'm thinking of trying to start to input the things your talking about but I think it will take me sometime to get them in, mainly because of real life issues. I don't think there is a way to do what you want to do with out going into the editor except how you said you might do it by making a bunch of character templates and saving them which in my book is a pain. The editor is the way to go. It looks worst then it is. You can look at other powers to see how they work to maybe get what you are trying to do and learn that way that's what I did in the editor. Sorry I can't be much more help.
