Q: What does it mean when a Character card says "Provides "
A: It means that it counts just like that Lesson. For example, if you have 4 Lesson cards, and that Character card in play, you could use cards that require 5 Lessons.

Q: If I use the Draco's Trick card on an Adventure card like Human Chess Game, which says for the opponent's Reward "Your opponent may draw 3 cards," who gets to draw the cards? Me? Or my opponent?
A: You do. Draco's Trick basically changes it so that you get the reward instead of your opponent. If it said you take 3 damage, it would be your opponent that would take that damage.

Q: When you are required to discard cards in order to solve an Adventure, does it take any Actions to discard those cards?
A: No. You can discard cards as a "free action" to solve an Adventure during your turn.

Q: Do I always have to draw a card at the start of my turn, even if I don't want to?
A: Yes. Each player must draw a card at the beginning of his or her turn. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Q: It's my turn and I just drew the last card from my deck. What happens now?
A: When you have no more cards in your deck -- even if you have some cards left in your hand or in play -- you lose immediately.

Q: Do I have to use all of my Actions each turn?
A: No. You can use all, some, or none of your Actions. However, once your turn is over, those Actions are gone. For example, if you used only 1 Action on your last turn, you can't use the second Action from that turn on your next turn.

Q: When I use Lesson cards to put other cards into play, are those Lesson cards "used up?"
A: No. Lesson cards stay on the table and can be used again, even on the same turn. One exception to this rule is if you have a card that specifically tells you to discard Lessons. For example, if you have 4 Lessons on the table, and 2 cards in your hand that require 4 Power (each) to play, you can use your 2 Actions to play them both.

Q: I didn't get any Lessons in my opening hand. What can I do? Can I draw a new hand?
A: No. If your opening hand has no Lessons, you do not get to draw a new hand. Remember though, that you can use an Action to draw a card. So, by using both of your Actions to draw cards, you just might get the Lessons you need!

Q: I have a card with an ability that can be used only once per game. If the card gets returned to my hand and then I play it again, can I use the ability again?
A: Yes. When a card gets returned to your hand it forgets that it was ever in play before. In the same way, if a Creature with damage counters on it gets returned to your hand, and then you play it again, it's a new Creature with no damage counters on it.

Q: My opponent wants to know how many cards I have left in my deck. Do I have to let him or her count them?
A: Yes. Your opponent is allowed to count how many cards you have left in your deck at any time. However, your opponent isn't allowed to look at what those cards are. Cards in your deck and in your hand are secret!

Q: I have a Character card that isn't either a Witch or a Wizard. Can I use it as my starting Character anyway?
A: No. Your starting Character has to be able to cast spells, so it needs to be a Witch or a Wizard. Any Characters that aren't Witches or Wizards (like Hagrid or Nearly Headless Nick for example) need to be played in your deck and not as a starting Character. Remember that you don't need any Lessons to play a Character card, but it takes 2 Actions.
