Hello LSJ,
If Ugadja has 2 blood and declares an action to use his special, then
spends 1 blood on an action modifier, does the action fizzle or does
it still work? That is, do I need to declare how much blood I'm
moving, or do I simply declare "moving up to 2 blood to this Laibon in
my uncontrolled"? I think the action would still work, and I'd move 1
blood to the inactive vamp.
Thanks,
Ira
Name: Ugadja

Laibon magaji: Ugadja may move up to 2 blood from himself to a younger
Laibon in your uncontrolled region as a +1 stealth action.

I might be wrong, but I believe you declare how much blood you are
moving, and then move as much as you can. Thus, if you declare you
are moving 2, and then spend a blood on an action modifier and have
only 1 blood left, you'd still try to move 2, but only 1 blood would
be moved.
Compare to Villein, which says that you must move 2 or more blood, but
it can be used on a vampire with 1 or 0 blood and just moves as much
as it can.

Works.

Yes.

You fully declare it. If it was declared as "Ugadja moves 2 blood to this
uncontrolled vampire", then it when it resolves, you move 2 blood. Like stealing
blood, though, or rearranging pool with Parity Shift, attempting to move more
than there is results in moving all.

Weird, is that true?
Why have the "move 2" text in the first place then? Why not just say
"You must move 0 or more blood" or even copy/paste Minion Tap's text
"Move any amount of blood from one of the vampires you control to your
pool" since it practically works the same anyway? Having it say 2 and
it works on 0 or 1 is confusing.

It works on 0 and 1. But if you have 1 blood on a vampire and play
Villein on him, you must move 1 blood. If you have 2 blood, you must
move 2 blood. You can't "cycle" a Villein on Arika with 1 blood
without moving her blood to your pool.
