target Targeting illegal model effects

[Runner]

Greetings!

I have a question about a bit stupid situation.

Let's say we have the Eternal Flame and a model without burning condition. The Eternal Flame tries to use its Flaming Detonation attack on the other model. Flaming Detonation (Ca 6 / Rst: Df / Rg: 10): Target model with the Burning Condition immediately resolves the Burning Condition as if it were the end of the Turn.

Is targeting a model without the Burning condition with this attack illegal and can not be declared or it could be targeted and attacked but as the model has no Burning condition it will do nothing?

Another example: targeting non-friendly model with any "Target friendly model..." action. Is it illegal to declare or just having no effect?

You can't target a model with that action if it doesn't have burning. You need to have a legal target to take the action. And to be a legal target it has to meet the requirements that the action sets, so Targte model with Brilliance can only be used if the target has brilliance, Target friendly model can only be used on a friendly model.

What about a healing action on a full life friendly model, just to get the trigger ? Is it a valid action?

It depends on the action. Assuming it just says target friendly you're fine. There's nothing about healing actions that inherently can't target models at full wds.

The rules for healing specify what happens when you try to heal excess wounds--the excess is discarded.  Likewise, inflicting excess wounds is fully defined.

So there's nothing wrong with healing (or a healing flip) on a non-wounded model.

Illuminated in Lynch crews do this all the time looking for those Aces

Yes, it is legal.
