Well, I never found it to confusing (other aspects of 1st ed confused me more,
I remember my first session GMing, my only other previous experience being
**AD&D**, and us pondering over things like when you could stage things (i.e.
most everything) and dice pools... and whether 1's subtracted successes or just
all 1's was a botch (and no I'd never played vampire before, this was long
before it existed - And I hate 1's subtracting in that system).

That's the way I'd interpret it. 'No other magical activity' is no other
