Thanks for the fast repply! I will take care about the official card text from there. I find more answers than expected. Then this case, since it is already blocked, are the cards played within the combat not considered played during the action?

The combat from a block is part of the action. So if the vampire opposing ossian played a combat card before range requiring he would not be allowed to use a strike

If the vampire would play Aura Reading before range is determined, then they couldn't play Charismatic Aura. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director
