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
