(LSJ) Wake on Conrad's action declaration

[floppyzedolfin]

Hi,
Suppose Conrad Adoula plays an action card.

A tapped younger vampire with superior Maleficia would like to cancel
it as played, using Evil Eye.

a- How much blood would that younger vampire spend to play that card?
(the answer should be 1 or 2)

Evil Eye does state that the _acting_ minion is tapped.
b- Does that mean there is an acting minion?
If it does, I expect Conrad Adoula to be the acting minion, and since
Conrad is acting and the other vampire, younger than acting Conrad, is
playing a reaction card, that reaction card should cost him 1
additional blood.

Pending question :
c- If there is an acting minion, shouldn't there be an action around?

Thanks

Err. The reacting vampire isn't tapped. And the reaction card played
isn't "Wake" as the title seems to show, but Evil Eye.

2 blood.

There is an acting minion. Evil Eye doesn't make this true, however.
The action card (or rather, the announcing of the action) makes it
true.

Correct all around. Card text.

There should be, yes. Except that it (the action card) gets canceled
as it is played. So the action that should have been ... isn't.

Card text.
