Gift of Seismic Energy (Dances Up Earthquakes)

Frequently Asked Questions

Blighted Island cards

• When counting the number of power cards you have in play or have played (e.g., for "Draw Towards a Consuming Void"), do you count the extra Power Card from "Aid from Lesser Spirits"?
  No. The card is "used as if played," but is not in play.

  So with the extra card, you:

  • Can use the threshold of "Draw Towards a Consuming Void" if you have no other Power Cards in play;
  • Can't count the card towards extra Energy with "Boon of Vigor" or "Gift of Seismic Energy"; and
  • Can't count the card towards the "Power Cards you have in play" requirements of "Earth Shudders, Buildings Fall".

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Do Dances Up Earthquakes' Impending Power Cards count as being in hand, play, or discard?
  No, impending cards are set aside out of play until they accumulate enough Energy to be played. They can't be played (except by Rhythmic Powers Builds to a Cataclysmic Crescendo), can't be discarded, and can't be reclaimed. They also don't count as being in play for, e.g., Earth Shudders, Buildings Fall or Gift of Seismic Energy.

  However, they can be forgotten, since that doesn't require the power card to be in any particular place.
