Your power, or "Pw", is the amount of magical energy you have:
Dlvl:3 $:43 HP:68(68) Pw:13(18) AC:-3 Xp:8/1295 T:2358
The above status line shows a character whose current power is 13 and maximum power is 18.
Power is consumed by casting spells, at a rate of 5 times the spell's level. When carrying the Amulet of Yendor, you will expend a random amount from 1 to 3 times the norm. If you fail to cast a spell due to failure rate or confusion, you expend only half the energy required for a success. When you have teleportitis, self-teleporting with ^T always consumes 20 power points.
Power can be regained slowly over time, quickly by quaffing a non-cursed potion of gain energy, and fully by reading a scroll of charging while confused. The potion also increases your maximum power; the scroll does so only if your power is already at maximum when you read it.
The rate at which power regenerates over time increases with your Wisdom. Carrying The Eye of the Aethiopica causes your power to regenerate at a much greater rate than usual.
