What are "your Actions"? (e.g., for Responsibilities to the Dead or Spread Tumult and Delusion)

As a general guideline, anything done by your Spirit Panel or Power Cards, including any consequences directly following from the game rules (e.g., destroying Invaders/Dahan that have taken Damage equal to or greater than their Health, earning Fear from destroying Towns/Cities, destroying Presence / cascading when adding Blight).
In particular, the following are your Actions.
  • Using one icon in a Growth option during the Spirit Phase [*]
  • Gaining Energy from your Presence track during the Spirit Phase
  • Playing and paying for all of your cards during the Spirit Phase
  • Using one Presence Track icon during the Spirit Phase [†]
  • Using one Power, whether the original use or repeating that Power (even if other Spirits make choices as part of resolving that Power)
  • Performing a triggered Action set up by one of your Powers (e.g., Vengeance of the Dead) or Special Rules (e.g., Ocean in Play)
  • Using a special rule that has an immediate, stand-alone effect (e.g., Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves replacing its Presence with Call Forth Predators)
  • Doing something a Power grants you the option to do later at your discretion (e.g., adding a Disease with Scream Disease Into the Wind, dealing Damage with the stone Beasts created by Unearth a Beast of Wrathful Stone)
Note that some special rules refer to "your Powers", which is more restrictive than "your Actions".
[*] If a Growth icon has an "xN" (e.g., for Fractured Days Split the Sky) it means that you have N copies of that Growth icon; each one is its own action. If a Growth icon does something in "each" land that meets a condition (e.g., for Ocean's Hungry Grasp), it's one action in each of those lands.
[†] Passive bonuses on Presence tracks, like Elements and Range bonuses, are always available; there is no action to gain them.
