Default Power Build to Double an Attribute...

... or, for that matter, increase / decrease it by a multiple. How would you do this? Let's say that point cost was no object.

The way the power would work would be as an Affliction. It would work to double a specified attribute (let's say ST) on whomever it was used. If it was used on someone with ST 10, that person would have ST 20 for the duration. If it was used on someone with ST 21, the person would have ST 42. Always the result would be existing ST x2.

Is this possible to build, as a generic power that would work to double anyone's ST, regardless of how low or high it was? Obviously the benefit the advantage would confer would increase with the target's ST.

I assume (if it even is possible) that a similar power build could produce an ability that could reduce an attribute by half. Or to build a gadget that could do this regardless of who was wielding it.
