Had posted this in the Card Guild forum, but it's not getting any attention there, so maybe the rules gurus here can offer some insight.
This may be a bit spoiler-y for Adv 3-6A, so proceed at own risk...

Relevant Scenario Text:
Display the Mnesoset role card next to the scenario. On your turn, you may recharge a card to gain the powers on that role card until the end of your turn.
Relevant Mnesoset Ability:
When a character at your location defeats and would banish a barrier, you may shuffle it into a location deck.
When, precisely, can a character use the scenario power to get that particular Mnesoset ability?
The scenario power doesn't state any timing window other than "during your turn," so is there any reason one couldn't do this during an encounter?
For example, say I encounter and defeat a barrier as "myself" (so I could make use of all my character's own awesome barrier-busting abilities). Right before I would banish it, can I recharge a card to call upon the Spinel Sage to toss the barrier in, say, the Five-Pointed Sun?
Or would I have already had to activate Mnesoset's abilities? If so, at what point can I do that? When I encounter the barrier? Before exploring?
Thanks!

It can be any time on your turn, but not during an encounter. This is because gaining the powers doesn't impact the encounter in any way, shape, or form. It gives you abilities that might do things later on, but that doesn't meet the criteria in the Affecting The Situation sidebar.
I was thinking this was an "Affecting the Situation" thing. That makes sense. Thanks for articulating that, skizzerz!
