Question

I have a couple of questions about the Spell blast treachery card. 1. Resolving the card sentence by sentence, after choosing one of the options if your identity gains the enchanted trait from the first sentence, do you then choose both options repeating one for a total of 3?
In comparison to a card with different wording, the Erratic Teleportation treachery from the Spiral scenario can cause a similar situation in that the first sentence can cause Spiral to go from having the cornered trait to the escaped trait causing the player to do both effects. Do we understand these kind of effects correctly?
Basically if a card ability is like: If A do B If B do C If C do D Should we read ahead and resolve the card with the option that is currently true or is it intended that it’s checking for every effect 1 by 1 if that makes sense. 2.If I reveal Spell blast and Enchantress is confused, can I choose the option for her to scheme? Basically does the game know she’s confused and take that into account with the Choose option rules?

Answer

Both Spell Blast and Erratic Teleportation are resolved sentence by sentence, but since Spell Blast is formatted a little differently its resolution looks a little different as well. If your identity has the Defiant trait when you reveal Spell Blast, you resolve its first sentence by “choosing” but not resolving one of the bulleted options. You’d then resolve the second sentence, which has no additional effect since you’re not Enthralled. Finally, you’d resolve your chosen option.

And yes, if Enchantress is confused when you reveal Spell Blast, you can choose to have her scheme, which then removes the confused status card. The “Choose (Option)” rules will be updated slightly in a future rules reference release to hopefully make this clearer; for now, you can think of this as similar to a friendly confused character being able to attempt a thwart even if it would result in just a status card removal.
