Is the Nosferatu Bestial's ability able to be used more than once per a given untap phase? I'm not seeing "once per" on there and didn't know if I am reading it incorrectly or if there's an unwritten rule I do not know of. This also goes for abilities like William Thorbecke's "During your discard phase, William may burn 2 blood to untap a minion you control." Thanks in advance

[ quoted text not captured ] Nosferatu Bestial : +1 stealth action. Unique. Put this card into play. This card represents a unique Nosferatu vampire with 2 capacity and basic Animalism [ani]. The Bestial cannot act except to hunt, cannot cast votes and cannot have equipment. During your untap phase, this Bestial may employ a retainer from your hand that requires Animalism (he or she must meet the requirements of the card). Pay the cost as normal. This is not an action and cannot be blocked. Both card text use the template "during X do Y" so you can do it only once.
