Blood of Acid vs Catatonic Fear (LSJ)

[Khaleph Alendis]

A player asked me to post this question :

«What happens when you play Blood of Acid in combat and the opposing
vampire plays a Catatonic Fear (superior version)? Does the opposing
minion suffer a point of environmental damage resulting from the
combination of Catatonic Fear's damage and Blood of Acid?»

I think that the domage are not done to the meth that play Catatonic
Fear since :

The effect of Blood of Acid applies to all strikes in the current
round. [RTR 19980623] [LSJ 19990215]

But the domage from Catatonic Fear is outside of the round :

Catatonic Fear's damage is dealt just after the combat ends. [RTR
19970630]

What do you think ?

Correct. Blood of Acid on works on damage inflicted by the opposing minion
during strike resolution. Since Catatonic Fear's damage is not done during
strike resolution, it won't be "copied" by Blood of Acid.

What about Weather Control? If I play Weather Control and a Theft of
Vitae. I do one point of enviromental damage and steal one blood.
Would Blood of Acid affect me for the one point of enviromental damage I
inflicted?

No. "You" don't inflict environmental damage (and, in this case, the
environmental damage isn't even done during strike resolution).
Environmental damage is damage that isn't inflicted by a minion, by
definition.

Blood of Acid only works on damage inflicted by the opposing minion
during strike resolution.
