Rulings

From the Omens of the Third Age release notes
  • Glide Through Starlight’s activated ability can only be activated from your hand. To activate this, show Glide Through Starlight to all players, then pay the cost of resource and discard it.
  • Discarding this card to pay the cost of activating its first ability counts as activating an instant ability, not as playing an instant.
  • When Glide Through Starlight’s instant activated ability resolves, it generates a shielding-prevention effect that prevents the next 1 damage that would be dealt to your hero this turn. When applying the shielding-prevention effect, if you prevent any damage this way (e.g. reduce the amount of damage being dealt by the event), you will create a Lightning Flow token. Neither player receives priority between applying/reducing the damage being dealt and creating the token.
  • You cannot use this during a resolution of a card. For example, if a card says “Deal 2 arcane damage. Deal 2 arcane damage.”; you cannot take two arcane damage, and then use this ability because a card must fully resolve first before a player gains priority.
  • This prevents all types of damage including damage from attacks (power damage), arcane damage, and (untyped) damage. This does not prevent loss of life.
  • The Lightning Flow token that is created as part of Glide Through Starlight preventing damage is a sub-event. Prevention effects that require a Lightning Flow token are eligible to apply to the same damage event that Starflow Robes’ prevention was applied to.
