Power Cards

• Does "Entwined Power" (you and target Spirit may use each others’ Presence to target Powers) also allow you to count the other Spirit's Presence for the text effects of Powers (e.g., getting 1 Fear and dealing 1 Damage with "Pull Beneath the Hungry Earth")? How about for determining which lands are "your lands" for the purpose of a Power?
  No. Those are effects of Powers; Entwined Power only helps targeting – i.e., meeting the requirements in the "Range" and "Target" boxes.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Can Eyes use its Dahan Trust the Watchers special rule to Gather Dahan when targeting a Spirit with Encompassing Ward?
  No. Even if all of target Spirit's Presence is in one land, the Power doesn't add Defend to the land, but rather grants the Spirit a new effect.

• If Eyes Watch From the Trees uses the threshold of *The Trees and Stones Speak of War*, do they get to Gather a Dahan afterwards? If so, when?
  Yes, they may Gather 1 Dahan into the target land after the Power is 100% finished (including the threshold, even if the threshold Pushes out all of the Dahan).

  It works because The Trees and Stones Speak of War only adds Defend to a single land. (The threshold effect may then move some of that Defend around.)

  Note that Eyes' bonus Gather will not move any Defend with the Dahan. That's a special feature of The Trees and Stones Speak of War.
