When attempting to retreat but getting gusted instead, does the retreating player still channel a rune?

Ruling: No, you do not channel a rune when gusted during a retreat attempt.

Sequence:

• Gust resolves first
• When retreat resolves, it cannot determine an owner to channel a rune

Nuances:

• The retreat effect still resolves, but without a valid owner present, the rune channeling portion cannot occur
