Tup Burn Spell / Draw spell power interaction.

[FLite]

When Tup uses his first power (banish a card to use your Arcane + 1d8 for combat, counts as casting a spell) and banishes a spell, does that trigger his second power (When you banish a spell from your hand not for it's power, draw a spell from the box)

I have someone locally arguing that since it says it "counts as casting a spell" you are using that spells power when you banish it.

[skizzerz]

Yes. You banished it for your character power. It was not banished for a power printed on the card itself, which is what "for its power" refers to.

[Keith Richmond]

Skizzerz is right. Blaze on, Golarion.

[Irgy]

Think of it this way, it counts as playing a spell, it just doesn't count as playing that spell. Which makes sense since the effect in general isn't the same as whatever the banished spell does.
