.. _auto_math_power:

*POWER*
=======

Raises a base scalar value to a given exponent (base^exponent). Use this worker whenever a workflow needs general exponentiation — squaring, cubing, taking a fractional power, or applying a negative exponent for reciprocal powers.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.
