Living Forest: Kodama

No. Count your visible Kodama symbols at the beginning of the Action phase; that’s when you gain their benefits. (p. 5–6)

Spend the symbols toward benefits: 2 gets you a Fragment tile, 3 gets you an Element tile, and 4 gets you an additional basic Action. You can combine benefits as long as their total cost doesn’t exceed your visible symbols. (p. 6)

No. Count visible Sun symbols on your Help Line, Forest, Victory tiles, and any Element tiles you choose to use; the Kodama card’s cost is not added to that calculation. Take one card from the top of a stack whose cost you can afford. (p. 7)

Add one Fire tile of value 2 to the middle of the Circle of Spirits for each Spirit standee Onibi jumps over. The Circle can never hold more than 7 Fire tiles. (p. 7)

Not for the victory condition tied to that stack: its target permanently rises to 15 when the last card is taken. An empty Tree stack raises the Tree target, an empty Water stack raises the Fire target, and an empty Flower stack raises the Flower target. (pp. 7–8)

Basic Actions must normally be different, even if you gain an extra one from Kodama symbols. Some effects let you repeat particular basic Actions; those effects remove the restriction but don’t themselves grant an additional Action. (p. 9)
