I found what the gun symbol represents. Attack Enhancements and Limitations on page 102. XD

If it wasn't clear, I know that obviously, it's not a valid combination of modifiers. Malediction's price is based on its range, so it can't be combined with Emanation. I seriously doubt it can be combined with Area Effect or Always On, either.

It's just that I like the quick contest aspect of the power, and how it ignores DR because it's a spell-like effect, not a physical attack.

I can just go with Affliction (Disadvantage; Cosmic, Irresistible attack; Area Effect; Always On; Emanation). The Cosmic enhancement would mean the victim's DR wouldn't count, just like with a Malediction, but they still get a resistance roll, I think. Well, I'm not sure . . .

None of the other modifiers that make it ignore DR seem to fit, either: Blood Agent,
Contact Agent, Follow-Up, Respiratory Agent or Sense-Based.
