There's this thing that is powered by a character, said character feels a tickle whenever the thing absorbs his energy, and the thing uses said energy to do a specific feat.
The thing absorbs more and more of his energy every time it is used. At the start, it was just a tickle for him, but at the end, he's heavy-breathing and sweating.
I suggested that the machine's feat, rather than being a showcase of the full energy this character is capable of producing, is actually just a fraction of said energy, and therefore the character should scale to all the energy the machine outputted, which is basically the same as multiplying the feat by the number of times the machine was used to fully drain him.
The people in our thread are divided by whether what I suggested is valid or a form of calc-stacking.
