Really? I thought if there was one die in the source then you could play advanced Mana Pull and take the one die and get one mana of the color you set it to. I guess it's not absolutely clear.

I'm quite sure you can't take one die if a card says "take two dice". I haven't seen any official rule about that, but it seems clear to me.Besides, thinking it again, I'm not sure that "do as much as you can" is a MK rule. For instance, if I have training and a red card (and nothing more) and there is no red in the AA offer, I think I can't play training and trash the red card.

If you have only one card in your deck, can you flip your Motivation skill?
Or even none, can you flip it just for a mana token?

However, I maintain my point with mana pull: the card says "take two dice". You either take two dice or you can't play it.

Hello, I'm seeking clarification on the use of Maximal Effect; clarification on the timing of the Motivation skill in a Solo Conquest; and clarification on Dodge and Weave.
MAXIMAL EFFECT
Can I use the stronger effect of Maximal Effect (powered by gold mana in the day) to use the stronger effect of Ritual Attack twice?
If so, may I throw away two green cards to receive Siege Fire Attack 3 twice?
MOTIVATION
Suppose I'm playing with Tovak and I have both his Motivation skill as well as the Dummy Player's Motivation skill (Norowas).
During my second turn of the round I use Tovak's Motivation skill to gain two cards plus the mana token.
When can I next use Norowas' Motivation skill? Is it any time during my next turn? Or, is it only at the very end of my next turn, after I've drawn up to my hand limit? If so, then that essentially means you must have at least one turn without using the Motivation skill between the turns when you do use it. Correct?
DODGE AND WEAVE
Can this card (either effect) be used to reduce an enemy attack to 0?
Thank you.

Ok, thank you so much. I have two other questions.
APPLYING CONCENTRATION TO MAXIMAL EFFECT
Can I play the stronger effect of Concentration to the stronger effect of Maximal Effect?
If I can, can I then apply the stronger effect of Maximal Effect (modified by Concentration) to a card whose stronger effect normally gives Attack 4 to give myself Attack 6 twice?
I apologize if this has been clarified elsewhere. I've read a number of threads about Maximal Effect but this scenario is still unclear to me.
INTO THE HEAT and UTEM SWORDSMEN
If I play the stronger effect of Into the Heat at the start of a battle, my units receive their attack/block strengthening. I also understand that I cannot assign damage to them.
However, may I still use the stronger effect of the Utem Swordsmen (Attack or Block 6)? I ask because this stronger effect of the Swordsmen also requires they become wounded. So, will this wound be equivalent to assigning them damage? Therefore, if I play Into the Heat, I cannot use the stronger effect of the Swordsmen?
I do not think this is correct. I think I can still use the stronger effect (wounding them) just so long as I don't assign them damage. Is this correct?
Thank you.

No. Assigning damage is assigning damage. Wounding the unit is wounding the unit. If they were the same thing then they would use the same words.

Concentration -> Card #1
IF Card #1 on its own produces N of any kind of attack, block, move or influence points immediately, card #1 produces a total if (N+2). Card #1 is the entire source of said points.
Maximal effect -> Card #2
Maximal effect does not produce anything, or do any effect on its own - its only effect is that you use Card #2's corresponding effect 3 or 2 times; Card #2 is the relevant card for determining which effects occur (if an enemy has resistances for example)
Concentration -> Maximal Effect -> Card #3
The stronger effect of Concentration does NOT do anything for Maximal effect; the physical card Maximal effect does not produce any attack, block, move or influence points and as such does not produce a total of N+2. Card #3's stronger effect occurs twice with no additional bonus.
Concentration's basic effect generating a red mana token works the same as Concentration's stronger effect in this case.
Maximal Effect -> Concentration -> Card #3 and Card #4
The other order works very differently; you must have two cards to play with Concentration's stronger effect if you throw away Concentration with Maximal effect's Stronger effect. Each of Card #3 and Card #4 are played in sequence and each effect completed as much as you are using at all before another effect can be chosen. If both Card #3 AND Card #4 produce any type of attack, block, move or influence points, then both of them can produce N+2 of those points. If only one of them produces points that one produces N+2.
This functions the same for other cards that ask you to discard, play or pay additional costs in their effect.

Ok, thank you very much. If I interact in a monastery in one turn (recruit or buy an advanced action), can I burn that same monastery on the NEXT turn?

That would be mean to the poor monks, especially if you use the card you bought against them.

I'm often derided by my kids for recruiting a unit of monks, then making them watch as I burn the monastery to the ground in the following turn.
Of course, I point out that it would have been much worse for them if I hadn't recruited them first...

Low hanging fruit and all that ...
But seriously, can I burn them on the next turn after I've interacted in them (morality aside)?
The Walkthrough says something to the effect, you cannot burn them "especially after interaction," but it's unclear to me if that means within that same turn.
Thanks.

You're reading the walkthrough a bit incorrectly. What it says is:"While in a monastery, you may decide to try to burn it down as your
Action for the turn (if you haven’t already taken your action for the
turn – and especially not after interacting in the monastery!)."
So on Turn X, you interact at the monastery and grab a unit, an AA, some healing, or some combination of the three. On turn X+1, you burn it down because you haven't used your action yet for the turn.

My question is when resting to get rid of wounds, you still follow the steps of turn end. Example have hand size limit of 5, and have 4 wounds and 1 non wound card. I rest on my turn discarding my wounds and the non wound card, then end turn I draw back to my hand limit of 5, is this correct.↧
