Character A has an MP with the UP limitation that includes a blast. But he is not using it at the moment.
Character B has a VPP with the UP limitation that can include a blast but doesn't in its current configuration.
Character C has a drain blast power that he unleashes on A and B.
According to the rules Character A instantly loses points from everything connected to his MP blast slot by the UP lim even if he isn't using it. Straightforward, logical.
What about character B? Does he instantly lose points from all powers connect with his VPP because it MIGHT have a blast in it? Is he completely unaffected because he doesn't have a blast active? If he does activate a blast in his VPP while the drain is still in effect does he suddenly lose points from everything connected with the UP lim?

Neither interpretation seems particularly satisfactory.
Should UP not be allowed on VPPs? Is this completely an SFX issue? Has asking this question opened a rift into a realm of chaos and madness?
