<< << USER INFLICTS DAMAGE A SECOND TIME.
Says so right on the card. Dosn't make sensce in the RPG but works fine in
the
TCG. >>

yes this is correct but you must have the ability to inflict that
damage...i.e. you must have a way of doing damage that hasn't been used (for
spells) ....you could use his own threat rating to cause the damage but I
think using a spell a second time is pushing the subject a little to
far...all
the rules say spells are used only once per turn and only if you have the
skill to do so.....do put more into the WR card than is acctually there.

Where does it say you must have a way of doing the damage that hasn't been
used. if this was what they intended don't you think they would have said so?
Lets look at it another way. What is the card not saying? Its not saying
attack again. That would have been a pretty easy way of wording it if thats
what they wanted. It sure would have cleared up a lot of questions. So why
didn't they say that?
They didn't say spells don't do damage a second time either. Or for that
matter they didn't say that the card works the way you want it to. Have you
noticed my main argument is "This is what the card says" And yours is "but
you
cant do this..." when you can't point to any part of the card or rules that
says you can't. The simplest way to enterpert the card is to just read the
text and apply it as is. Any other way and you have one rule for spells and
another for this piece of gear and anther for that cituation. What dosn't make
sence is why things have to be so difficult. Some times the best answer is the
simplest one. The one right in front of your face (written on the card)
