I added a "fiction" section to better deal with the uses of power meaning magical powers and superhero powers. I've recently done a hundred or so disambiguations on power, and maybe 10% referred to those sorts of power. This section might be pushing NPOV, because some might consider it a condemnation of their religion or magical practices as ficticious...? I think it's okay as it stands, but if someone thinks it should be reworded, go ahead, just please don't leave out magical powers entirely, because it makes the disambig page more complete. - Stillnotelf03:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Some may find the example I plugged in at the start of the intro a bit out of place. OK. I did feel that a bit of less technical explanation is in order before the article dives into (eegad!) mathematical formulæ!—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 20:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Admittedly this is very close to the idea of political power. But surely there are articles on the nature of power as a principle, guided by philosophies of particular kinds of discretion. It would be a worthy subject of review and certainly knowledge, if knowledge is at all considered to have some kind of power. (Wikipedia has many articles on principles, such as peace and love to give two examples).
I agree that power as a philosophical principle deserves its own Wikipedia entry
Power in a philosophical sense seems like a broader and deeper topic than power in a merely political or social sense, as the existing topic pages appear to discuss.

I've added Electricity to the top of the list, as that is one of the most common things people mean when they talk about "power". Anyone who has watched Jeremy Clarkson will also be familiar with the use of power in relation to motor vehicles - engine power - which should be added to the list although I'm unsure of the best place to do so.
