You guys are pretty much replicating the discussion we've had in our group and there are good and valid arguments on either side, which is why I put the question here.It is not so much a question of how to interprete the written words in the rules, but rather I'd like to know what has been intended by the rule and then maybe the wording wasn't so well picked to capture that. Unfortunately the Official FAQ doesn't touch on the problem, even though it does clarify one point on "Who needs magic?".
So I really think that should be narrowd down a bit further. Maybe the Designer or someone close to him can help...
