How does Svellsongur work with activated abilities that have exhaust costs, specifically does it double the values (e.g., will Lux give 4 energy instead of 2)?
Ruling: Svellsongur does not double the values of activated abilities. It gives the unit two instances of those activated abilities with the same text.
Sequence:
- The unit gains duplicate text of its activated abilities
- You can only exhaust the unit once per activation
- Exhausting the unit is the cost of using one ability
- You cannot pay for both abilities with one exhaust, just like you can't spend the same energy for two different abilities with energy costs
- If you ready the unit, you can exhaust it again, but this is already true without Svellsongur
Nuances:
- Equipment grants its effect text to the unit as a matter of how equipment works, so you cannot exhaust Svellsongur itself to use the ability
