Recharging Power Points & errata

Most characters' Power Points recharge at a rate of 1 per hours, though there are edges that double and quadruple that rate, as well as an Edge that grants 2d6 PP for drawing a Joker. There's also the Wizard Edge, which makes spells cheaper based on how skilled the character is.
In addition there's various magic items and gizmos that give Arcane types extra Power Points to spend as well as potions. But they're setting specific so it's not in the main rules. You can find examples of them in each of the published settings so far (Evernight, 50 Fathoms and the Rippers skirmish book).
Power Points isn't there to limit how many spells can be cast in a day (because they're constantly recharging), so much as keeping wizards from flinging off a 3d6-damage-large-template Blast every round and calling it a tactic. (A 3d6-damage-large-template Blast in a specific round for maximum effect is a tactic.)
As for "it’d be nice to have an official FAQ/errata too." Short, official and non-coprehensive errata is available on the official website. Longer, unofficial and very comprehensive errata is also available on the Yahoo Group. There's also a very nice FAQ (written by me) on the Yahoo Group.
