Empowerment clarification

So, the way I understand empowerment is If I use a power in divine mode, i add to the empowerment of that particular power. Reading some posts and such, i am thinking I have had this wrong all along, and how it works is using a power in divine mode adds a stack of empowerment, and once I am fully empowered, the next non divine mode power i use is fully empowered.

It sounds to good to be true, and i assume i need to use Astral shield 3 times in divine mode to get a fully empowered use of AS... so is this how it works or do i have an major D'oh! coming my way.

That said, maybe I am missing a nuance that is being noted and the empowered lasts much longer, so that I can hit divine Bast 2 times, swap back to a normal other power, do a divine as and divine bast to get a fully empowered Bast, so that emopwerment can stack on multiple powers and lasts what longer than the little blue motes graphic.

    Any divine mode encounter builds a stack of empowerment (up to 3). Any non divine encounter power expends all stacks to empower that encounter.

    i.e. Build with any divine, expend with any non-divine. Not separate stacks for each power.

    Also, it doesnt matter what encounter you used to build the empowerment, you can spend the empowerment on any other encounter.

    For example: cast 3 divine Healing Words and then spend the 3 stacks of empowerment in casting one non-divine Astral Shield.

    I didn't realize you could empower at-wills; thought empowerment stacks only dispense when you cast non-divine encounters.

    That's pretty obviously typing "seal" when you actually mean "shield".

    I figured, but thought I'd throw it out there for clarification :)

    punishing light (devine mode from at will) ignores DR 10% per stack, thought I read it somewhere?
    so its some kind of empowered at will related to stacks

    Ive never seen anything regarding punishing light having a debuff. Maybe the reference was meant to be to searing light which provides a 10% debuff when empowered.

    It was a brain typo kind of thing obviously since at-wills don't use empowerment. I changed it so no one does anything bad.
