Add a fourth paragraph in Atomic Actions
If a Wizard arrives at a step in an Atomic Action and they cannot perform that step, they undo all the steps that they performed of that action and are never considered to have performed that action.
Hmm, why “there is no possible legal dynastic action for them to take” instead of “they cannot complete that step”, actually? The atomic action rule already says that they “may not take any other dynastic action”, so the only one it’s possibe for them to take is the current step.
i don’t think that there’s a functional difference to those words. i guess your version looks nicer in context
I am a bit concerned about irreversiblity of earlier actions, but I don’t see a clear example of that yet.
Should undoing the actions in reverse sequential order also be an atomic action or a continuation of the atomic action? Otherwise i could see like “do part of an atomic action, get stuck, do another action, undo atomic action” be argued?
[Kaia]Very close to a problem. I’d argue that the undoing is forced with the proposal’s wording, so they don’t have time to do anything else between bound and free statuses. Gets weird if we make AAs with early actions being conplex in any way, though.
I’d say they were still performing the action right up until point where they were no longer considered to have performed it, so there’s no room for another action.
