A (hopefully) quick question - is it allowed for Merisiel to reveal a weapon for a combat check, then discard/recharge this same card for her character power for the 1(2)d6 within the same check?
Ie, encounter a Zombie, reveal a dagger to get 1d12+1d4, then discard this card for 2d6 from her character power before performing the combat roll.
I want to say this isn't permitted, but I ran across a thread about Lini doing a similar thing (reveal ally for 1d4 then discard for card power).

For Lini's power:
You may reveal an ally with the Animal trait to add 1d4 ( +1) ( +2) to your check.
Can she use this power and then play an ally on the same check? Or does this count as her Ally play for the turn?

Playing a card means activating a card’s power by revealing, displaying, discarding, recharging, burying, or banishing the card.
When you reveal the ally to trigger Lini's power, you're not actually *playing* the ally—its own power is not being activated. You can still play an ally on the check. (It can even be the one you revealed to activate Lini's power!)
