As another thread made me think of the infinite (sic!) potential for abuse that beneficial affictions can bring, I wanted to present something, that may even make the infamous 50 Point universe depopulation power look harmless.

Please everyone, say hi to Ascension:

Affliction 1 (Cummulative, +400%, Cancellation, +10%, Extended Duration x3000, +140%; Malediction 1, +100%; Reliable 10, +50%; Advantage: Modular Ability 1 (Cosmic Power, Physical and Mental, +100%), +200%) [100]

It is twice as expensive, but, rejoice for now you can claim divinity with your own hands and as a nice bonus, you can share it with your friends.

With a duration of likely more than a week, you can take your time to afflict yourself with as many characterpoints as you want, take any ability, physical, mental, it is yours!
Invest just an hour every weak to gain 360 character points, or go a full day (just buy away your need to sleep at some point) to go for the full 8.640 points of divinity.
...and if any of your former friends and now rival deity gets troublesome, why, you can just cancel away his or her divine power!

Now, aside from the fact it is of course broken, even if legal, a strict game master could interpret that you have to specify the ability the one character point is used for (afflictions with advantage usually give you one instance of use not free reign, like teleport as an affliction sending you away once, but not giving you the ability to warp at your leisure) when you use the affliction.
...and as a consequence that you cannot buy expensive traits point after point, but instead have to use it for something that usually comes in discrete 1 point packages.

...but even then, you need not worry too much.
2 points in every skill? Every average technique at max level? All the perks in existence? Hardly any need for food or water? Comfortable at any temperature or gravity? All the languages you can name as well as every cultural familiarity? Powerful Innate attacks coming in 1 point levels with some minor limitations? Infinite amounts of ablative DR?

As a general advice: Never, ever allow cummulative afflictions that grant an advantage...
