Is this valid?

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.

Idk why its considered calc stacking. It sounds like a simple form of "more energy consummed = more power"

I agree but I want a staff member input before I use this

Does he get to "rest" recoup energy?

Not really, he's locked, and there's a timespan between the first shot and the others, but then they just start spamming it

If all attacks use the same amount of energy and If you can prove that the character can unleash all of his energy in a single attack, his AP scales to the total energy.
