I appreciate your efforts to showcase how weird this wording is!
By the way while we're playing nit-pickers: the wording in the rules is "Passive Action: Charge Power". :p :kiss:
Mea culpa. Just trying not to drive new players away by using words or phrases that are not in the rulebook. It's upsets some of them, you know. Then what do I do? Exactly that. I'll put on the cone of shame, now.
I think I would argue that it only has seemed to upset a very small subset of "new players", considering I've only seen one person complain about it. While "leech" and "bowl" aren't in the rules, it seemed pretty obvious to me what those terms were referring to, so I don't mind if people use them here.
