Can you activate a rune for energy before recycling it to pay for a seal, and does that energy persist through the turn?
Ruling: Yes, you can activate a rune to generate energy before recycling it to pay for a seal's cost, and that energy remains available for the rest of the turn.
Sequence:
- Activate the red rune to generate energy
- The energy is banked/available
- Recycle that rune to pay for the red seal
- After the seal resolves, you can spend the previously generated energy (e.g., to play a 4 energy unit)
Nuances:
- Floated energy lasts for the entire turn
