Okay, so in my latest game, I had this come up, and I'm not sure whether this works or not. My Librarian rolled two different powers (Enfeeble and Perfect Timing) and at one point, he was locked in close combat with an enemy, making the Perfect Timing useless. I wind up using Enfeeble for my first power (I did buy him the Epistolary upgrade), but can I actually Enfeeble the same target twice, since he can cast it twice in a turn? Or can I not stack the same power from the same Psyker?

I know the book says that different maledictions stack, but I'm wondering if that means different malediction uses or specifically different malediction powers. For a similar situation, what if I had had a second Librarian with the same power? Could two Librarians stack Enfeeble on the same enemy unit?

A psker cannot cast the same power twice, even if he fails the first one.

As far as stacking goes, thats currently debated.

Ah ha, totally missed that rule. Well, I guess my question is rather moot, then.

i dont see how its debatable it says unless otherwize stated they are not cumulative. for example the csm maladiction say that they stack

Actually, it's not dried and cut. It depends on do you interpret word "different powers" (blessings/maledictions): does it mean "different instances of power" or "differently named powers". Because no blessing or maledictions in BRB states that they stack, it's bit hard to say which did they intend. C:CSM was written after BRB, one cannot really deduce did they mean "in contrast to BRB powers, these stack" or "just a reminder: maledictions stack".

Note that there is no rule saying "multiple instances blessing/malediction don't stack" and no rule stating "unless otherwise stated, powers are not cumulative" in those words. So yes, it is under debate. Talk about it with your opponent before game.

I was under the impression that all powers stacked, unless otherwise noted. That's how multiple Hammerhands worked...
