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?

You can, but you have to throw away two cards (same with improvisation, and similar with pure magic). Notice that you will produce a unique attack that can't be split (in the same way that you can't split the attack produced by rage).

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?

You can use a motivation skill only once per turn. If you use motivation on the second turn, then you can't use it until the end of that second turn. You can use again another motivation between your second or third turn, or at any point after that.

DODGE AND WEAVE

Can this card (either effect) be used to reduce an enemy attack to 0?

Sure, attack can be reduced to 0. The thing that cannot be reduced to 0 is armor.
