Here're my thoughts:The Skill reads, "If you use no die from the SOURCE this turn, it gives +3 instead." Two questions come up: (1) Is this sentence—by using the singular form of the word "dice"—referring solely to the single free die all players get to use from the SOURCE every turn, or is it referring to all of the dice in the SOURCE? and (2) What does "use" mean: to directly use a mana die as "mana", or to make any use whatsoever of any mana die?
The argument based on the singular form of the word "dice" to argue that this Skill refers only to the free mana die every player gets each turn seems tenuous at best. (If that's what was intended, why not have simply written "If you don't use your free mana die from the SOURCE this turn, it gives +3 instead.") That being said, regarding the second question, I would take a stricter interpretation of the word "use": I would disallow the basic effect of Mana Draw, but allow the strong effect. I would allow both effects of Mana Storm, but of course prohibit the player from using the "three extra dice" allowed by the strong effect.
