Provision of the Silsila/burnt vamps question

Can you fill up from the Provision if you BURN the opposing vampire as opposed to sticking it in torpor? Sorry if this is a dumb question [i think from card text that the answer is Yes], but i've been wrestling with the problem that when the opposing vamp burns so, automatically, does the contract, so it could be argued that you can't fulfill the card instructions because you can't burn the contract AGAIN.

Nope. You're effectively playing it as you burn it, basically. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D EBD690ECD7A1F She twirled a lock of hair around her forefinger and smiled B457CA213D7E6 faintly.

Yes. You don't have to burn the contract "to" fill up. You simply fill up and burn the contract.
