Can you exhaust a rune for energy and then recycle that same rune for power in the same turn, using both resources to pay for different costs?

Ruling: Yes, a single rune can provide both 1 energy (by exhausting) and 1 power (by recycling) in the same turn. These resources go into your resource pool and can be used to pay for different costs.

Sequence:

  • Exhaust the rune to generate 1 energy (goes into your resource pool)
  • Recycle that same exhausted rune to generate 1 power (also goes into your resource pool)
  • Both resources remain available in your pool until end of turn
  • Pay costs from your resource pool as needed

Nuances:

  • Energy and power are completely distinct resource types and are not interchangeable
  • Resources in your pool don't have to be spent immediately when generated - they can be "floated" and used later in the turn
  • You must exhaust the rune BEFORE recycling it to get both resources; if you recycle first, you only get the power
  • Players should verbally announce when they are exhausting a rune for energy before recycling it for clarity
  • The rune itself is gone once recycled, but the energy it generated remains in your pool
