God its been so long since I played. From what I understool any Pehperial essence spent in any way causes a flareup. Thats from what I read in the book. As for actions, I don't get another one till my turn comes around. as for what I do I will describe it how I feel like since there is such thing as a parry.<br/><br/>As for muse's little Edging on, damage dosn't matter since I used a perfect parry.
