their manual is wrong!
cite: pow raises the base value (set in the right inlet) to the power of the exponent (set in the left inlet).
Input: float or int In left inlet: Sets the exponent. In right inlet: Sets the base value.
Arguments: float or int, Optional. Sets the base value. The default value is 0.
Output: float The base value (from the right inlet) raised to the exponent (from the left inlet).
and then they have an example as it really works
[2( [-0.5( | / [pow] | [0.707107\
but -0.5**2 is actually 0.25.
