What is the difference between Indirect 1 and 2?
The description makes them sound the same - you pick some point of origin other than yourself. What's the difference?

Indirect 1 is a from a fixed point away from you. So it always originates from the same spot relative to you.
Indirect 2 is from any point away from you. You can move the point where the power emits from, but it still moves away from you.
Indirect 3 is from any point towards or away from you. So the power can start from behind someone you are facing and hit them in the back.

But how do you define the "fixed point?"

Direction and distance. So you could say 20 feet away directly in front of you. For Indirect 2, you can change that point every time you use the power. For Indirect 1, it can't change.
