[LSJ] Giovanni?

1. You can tap the Tower of London to gain 1 pool whenever an action that requires Necromancy is successful. Is this only specifically *action cards* that require Necromancy, or could you use this with any action that requires Necromancy, such as recruiting a Shambling Horde or equipping with a piece of hypothetical equipment that required Necromancy to equip with? 2. Superior Compel the Spirit gives the rescued ally/retainer X life, where X is the amount of life printed on the card. What do you do in situations where there are 2 different life totals printed, like with Shambling Horde or Raven Spy?

It is not limited to action cards, any action that requires Necromancy qualifies, so you can use ToL when recruiting a Shambling Horde. > 2.

Card text: Name: Compel the Spirit [DS, FN] Cardtype: Action Cost: 1 blood Discipline: Necromancy +1 stealth action. Only usable if a retainer or ally you control has been burned since your last turn. [nec] Move the card from your ash heap to your hand. [NEC] Move the card from your ash heap to your ready region, even if this vampire doesn't meet the requirements, if any, of the card (use the normal version if it requires a Discipline). Move X life counters from the blood bank to the card, where X is the number of life printed on the card. If a retainer is chosen, it must be placed on the acting minion. Use the life for the [inf] version of the discipline.

The latter. It first came up as a ruling for Darius, IIRC. [ quoted text not captured ]
