Can you generate power during the resolution of Bullet Time (after it has been cast and priority has passed), or do you need to generate power before passing priority?

Ruling: You can generate power during the resolution of Bullet Time using Reaction: Add abilities, even though you don't have priority during resolution. This is explicitly allowed by the rules for any spell or ability resolution that requires resources to be paid.

Sequence:

  • Play Bullet Time and pass priority
  • Opponent passes priority
  • Bullet Time begins resolving
  • During resolution, you can use Reaction: Add abilities to generate power
  • Choose how much power to pay and resolve Bullet Time's effect

Nuances:

  • This permission applies to any resolution that requires resources to be paid, not just costs paid when casting
  • You can generate any type of resource during this window (both power and energy), not just the specific resource type being paid
  • The rule allowing this is the same one that permits generating resources during the payment of spell costs
