Do I have to do everything shown in a Growth option I pick?
Do I have to do everything shown in a Growth option I pick?
Yes. You can do them in any order, but must do everything shown if possible.
Usually, there's no downside: Reclaiming, gaining Energy/Power Cards, and adding Presence are strictly good. (You can always move a Presence already on the island when adding Presence [p. 14], so "running out" isn't a concern.) Spirits with "Move a Presence up to Range N" Growth effects can Move it 0. However, a few Spirits do include things you'll have to work around - eg:
- Ocean's Hungry Grasp often requires you to Push or Gather Presence;
- Heart of the Wildfire often adds Blight along with Presence, so being required to add Presence can be dangerous.
If you can't do something in a Growth option, you do as much as you can and skip the rest. (Eg: if you're supposed to Push Presence from each Ocean, and there's a board where none of your Presence is in the Ocean, you don't Push on that board.)
