Mephisto Devil's Due power gain

[PantsParty]

Does Mephisto gain power equal to wilds rolled regardless of how much power the target character actually loses, or does the gain equal the actual power lost?

Situation: Mephisto rolls 3 wilds. Target character only has 1 power that is lost. Mephisto gains 3 power or 1 power?

Quote

...If you do, roll 5 dice. For each Wild rolled, the target character loses 1 Power and this character gains 1 Power.

As an additional question, does Stun on Mephisto cause Mephisto's gain to cap at 1 power regardless of the number of wild results or does each wild count as a separate instance of power gain?

The amount of power he gains is based solely on the number of wilds rolled, it has no connection to how much power the target character loses.

It counts as a single instance of power gain, so Stun would limit it to 1 power.
