Do Seals come in exhausted or ready?

Ruling: Seals are Gear, and Gear enter Ready at your Base by default. This means you can use a Seal immediately on the turn you play it.

Nuances:

  • You recycle one rune to play a Seal, then can use it instantly that same turn
  • The power cost is still meaningful because recycling runes slows your energy development
  • On the turn you play it, you're net zero on power generation (recycle one rune, gain one power from the Seal)
  • The value comes from subsequent turns when the Seal continues generating power
