Examples:
Merlin:
Being the son of Corwin,
Merlin can use either the Pattern in Amber or Corwin's new Pattern.
During one of his (published) adventures he became attuned to the Jewel of Judgement.
He is a shape-shifter and an adept of the Logrus (remember that he can summon Primal Chaos).
As a child, he learned the arts of magic, including the art of creating trumps,
from his relatives in the Courts of Chaos.
At the end of his published adventures, he had become attuned to one or more spikards.
Thus, Merlin's powers are as follows:
Imprint of the Pattern of Amber [50]
Imprint of Corwin's Pattern [50]
Attuned to the Jewel of Judgement [10]
Advanced Logrus Mastery [70]
Trump Artistry [40]
Shape Shifting [35]
Power Words (Initiate), Sorcery, and Conjuration [45]
Attuned to a Spikard [10]
Discount: Power-Based Trump [+20]
Total Cost: 290 points
Of course, in my campaign, he might be even more powerful than this.
Vialle:
Vialle is able to use her sculpture as "trumps" as well as for divinations.
Thus, we can assume her powers are as follows:
Trump Artistry [40]
Sorcery and Conjuration [25]
Total Cost: 65 points
As with Merlin's example above,
Vialle could actually be more powerful than this in my campaign.
(However, she will not have any form of Pattern Imprint or Logrus Mastery
as she is not of the Blood of Amber or of the Blood of Chaos.)
