How to raise a number by a power?

How to raise a number by a power? My first two impulses were to try:

1. X**Y
2. @pow(X, Y)

But neither seem to work.

For reference, I'm trying to implement Pyramid 3, #83: "Knowing Your Own Strength" as an override, and implementing certain parts of it seems to require exponents.

@power(X,Y)

I think that X^Y also works, but @power() is definitely better.

There is a GCA Data File Reference available on the Docs page of Armin's Website.

Thanks. I dropped my PER in character creation to min-max elsewhere...

...In hindsight, combining that with "Absentminded" was not a flawless decision.
