[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9765655, member: 23751"] Because nothing says or implies that you can. There is no spell action. The actions are listed in the glossary. The lower case "a" in the Ready action doesn't mean any action, because the Action section in the glossary uses lower case "a" for itself. Until you can show that somehow the lower case "a" means something else, which requires explicit language, the actions you can choose are the ones on the list. Oh, and move since that is explicitly called out as an exception. Nowhere does it say that. It says you pick an action or move to do later and the actions are spelled out in the glossary. Do you not understand that when you say what you are going to do, you are declaring it? Let the "declare" thing go. It's not the weakness you think it is. You must declare one of the actions from the glossary, or else declare a move. Those are your choices for Ready. Yes it is. Utilize is interactions with objects. It does not say that it is only for objects that require actions, only that objects that do require actions use Utilize. Yes. You can do other things that specifically say they take an action. Nothing in Ready says casting a spell is a separate action OR that Ready is used to cast the spell. You are inventing both of those things. Releasing energy is not an action, and pull the lever is in fact covered by Utilize. [/QUOTE]
