Perhaps
Enhancement - cosmic:xxx

Enhancement: 'Rules Exemption' or 'Ignores Defense'
Power source: setting-specific name.
Modular Ability: doesn't need a specific name, just say 'slot size 1, ready action to change'.

Imho, the power pool should be "Universal", given its level of flexibility.

What do you guys think of this, in theory...?


Enhancement - Transcendent (describes a power that exceeds normal limitations)

Power source - Cosmic (Describes the source as the inherent energies of the Universe)

Modular ability - Universal (Describes the unique flexibility of the pool)

Why are you looking for special terms? That just asks for trouble. It should Enhancement: Rules Exemption
Enhancement: Ignores Defense
Power Source: setting-specific, should not have an official name.
Modular Ability: nothing (it is simplest to just say that the default state of a modular ability is that it can be used for anything).
