Seasons

You must pay the card’s summoning cost by discarding the required energy and/or crystals shown, and your summoning gauge must be high enough to permit one more card in play; once met, place the card face‑up in front of you (pages 7–8).

Yes — activation effects may be used at most once per round and can be used “as soon as it is summoned” by turning the card 90° and paying any activation cost; turned cards straighten at the start of the next round (page 8).

The summoning gauge is not spent; it represents the maximum number of power cards you may have in play, so to summon an additional card your gauge must be at least equal to the number of cards you will have after summoning (page 7 and example on page 8).

You can never have more than seven energy tokens in your reserve; if an action would give you more, you choose which tokens to keep so your total does not exceed seven before continuing (page 6).

Yes — the transmute action is available until the end of your turn, so you may transmute energy, perform other actions, and transmute again later in the same turn (page 7).

At round end you move the season token forward by the number of pips shown on the die that no one chose; crossing the season wheel’s boundaries causes season changes and when the token moves from space 12 to 1 the year advances (players add Library II/III cards), and the new first player becomes the left‑hand neighbor of the previous first player (pages 8–9).
