Ethereal Conjunction

Frequently Asked Questions

Event Cards

• Can Shifting Memory of Ages use Long Ages of Knowledge and Forgetfulness to avoid Forgetting the Power Card it uses via Ethereal Conjunction?
  No, even if the Power Card was in hand at the start of the Event, it's in play by the time Memory has to Forget it.

• When using a Power Card via Ethereal Conjunction, can you hit its thresholds? Do its own Elements contribute to those thresholds?
  Yes and yes. You can use any Elements you have when you use the Minor/Unique Power, including the Elements on the Power Card itself.

  However, the Power Card will be Forgotten before you have a chance to use any Powers in Slow Phase, so it won’t help you hit the Elemental thresholds of those Slow Powers.

• Does a Spirit have to pay for the Power Card played via Ethereal Conjunction?
  No, since the card is put directly into play without needing to pay its cost.

  However, the Spirit still needs to pay any costs associated with using the Power, whether that's a mandatory "Cost to Use" (e.g., for Absolute Stasis) or a cost associated with a particular choice (e.g., for Hazards Spread Across the Island). You can pick a Power Card with a Cost to Use that you can't afford; in that case, you fail to use the Power and then Forget the card.

• Can a Spirit pick the top option for Visions Out of Time even if they don’t have 1 Energy or a Power Card that the Event can replace?
  Yes.

  Those are both effects of the choice, not costs, so just do as much as you can.

General Play

• When an effect lets you play a card, does that count against your allowed number of card plays?
  No. The number of card plays on your Presence track only effects how many cards you can play during the Spirit Phase. Cards played after that are in addition to those limits.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• When selecting Power Cards for Ethereal Conjunction, can you choose a Power Card made impending by Dances Up Earthquakes?
  Yes.

  The list of places on Ethereal Conjunction that you can choose Power Cards from is a reminder of where your Power Cards will usually be, not the complete list. Impending Cards are still Dances' Power Cards, so they can be chosen for this Event.
