Rules 2026-07-16Reviewed 2026-08-11

Objective

Identify both visible parts of an abstract card cost.

Before

The abstract card shows an Energy number and two domain Power symbols.

The complete printed cost is visible but not yet interpreted.

Action

The player records the numbered Energy requirement without hiding the Power symbols.

The generic amount is identified as one part of the cost.

Resolution

The player names the two displayed Power symbols and compares them with the Rune Deck plan.

Both cost dimensions are now visible in the decision.

Why

Energy helps compare the amount while Power shows which domain requirements must also be considered.

The player avoids comparing cards by Energy alone.
