Can a vampire afflicted by Memories of Morality still use Mercy for
Seth to burn an Imbued, or indeed any ally?

Mercy for Seth
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Necromancy
[nec] Strike: put this card on the opposing minion. If this minion is
a mortal, he or she is burned. During his or her untap phase, the
minion with this card takes 1 unpreventable damage. The minion with
this card may burn it as a +1 stealth action.
[NEC] As above, and this strike inflicts 1 damage as well.

Memories of Mortality
Master, 1 Pool
Put this card on a vampire; this vampire cannot attempt to block
allies. Any damage the vampire inflicts on allies is reduced to 0. The

vampire may burn 1 blood during his or her controller's influence
phase to burn this card; he or she then goes into torpor.


As a non-damaging strike, I would argue that they can? However, is a
burn effect synonmous with damage? If it is, I would conclude that
they cannot.

Thanks,

Paul

Any mortal, yes.
It will not harm other allies until the untap phase damage kicks in.

Correct.
At inferior, it does not inflict damage.

>However, is a burn effect synonmous with damage?
