Unlike a damage (or heal) ability you are using a buff as long as it's on. An attack or heal's power is the damage it's done (or healed). once that's done the power ends. Unless it's cyclic damage or regeneration.

Not true. If you have some evidence to the contrary, please post a page reference.

You can have smoke grenades, tranquilizer darts, a tangler style net pistol, and a 50mm gun as alternative attacks. If you net someone one turn, tranq someone the next, fire off your smoke grenade in round three and finally start spraying your gunfire in round four, none of your previous abilities durations magically vanish.
