When a unit takes damage from a spell before or during a showdown, does the damage reduce its Might value?

Ruling: Inflicting damage to a unit does NOT reduce its Might. A unit with damage marked on it still deals its full Might value in combat.

Sequence:

• Damage can be dealt to a unit before a showdown begins (using appropriate spell speeds)
• The unit retains its full Might value regardless of damage marked
• During the showdown, the damaged unit still deals its original Might as damage
• The unit is destroyed if total marked damage equals or exceeds its health

Nuances:

• Base speed spells cannot be used during showdowns; only Action and Reaction abilities can be used during showdowns
• Units track "marked damage" rather than losing HP or reducing stats
