Weakened without Preparation (-90%): Power works at 50% efficiency if you have eaten meat (or plant*) material in the last 8 hours
Preparation Required (-30%): Must meditate for ten minutes before the power can be attempted**
Immediate Preparation Required (-30%): Must sing for at least a minute while activating the power before it can take effect
* This is an either/or situation. If I were putting that into a trait it would be only one or another.
** And I'm assuming that if a Meditation skill roll was needed this could allow a Requires (Attribute) Roll shifted to a skill roll in addition to any Requires (Attribute) Roll needed to activate the power.

I've stacked the two options in the past as "Weakened without Immediate Preparation" in that case, it simply cancels out one another. Since Immediate Preparation increases the limitation by 1.5 and Weakened without Preparation Required reduces it by 0.5 you'd use the base listed time. For example, "Weakened without Immediate Preparation, 1 minute" is a -20% limitation. I'm not so sure about having two activation rolls, but nothing in the RAW seems to prevent it. It might not be worth the small break in cost it gives.
