Fizzling actions

[Sten During]

The RTR we've found concerning actions that become
impossible to complete due to inability to pay the
cost say that the action continues with no effect.
If so it would seem possible to play Mask of a 1000
Faces to change acting minion after unsucccesfully
paying the cost of the action. It's also unclear if
the action as such is unsuccesful or not (ie being
able to play Freak Drive at no cost would be legal).

I just want to make clear if the intent of the RTR
is to have the action end unsucccesfully rather than
continue with no effect?

Mask cannot be played after resolution as a general
rule. This includes after fizzling.

Yes, it is successful (since it wasn't blocked and
reached resolution).

Nit: You pay as much cost as you are able.
