Thank you for your clear and thorough answers! They were very helpful!

I’m a complete beginner struggling a bit with suits in abilities. I’ll use Lady Justice’s Restore Natural Order as an example: (1) Restore Natural Order (Ca 5/ TN: 17 [...continued] When using this ability I need to reach a target number of 17 rams. I understand that the value 5 and the suit of rams is added to my final duel total. If I only consider this action and nothing else, the following wording of the ability would have the same difficulty, wouldn’t it? (1) Restore Natural Order (Ca 5 / TN: 17 [...continued] So... What is the purpose of having rams in both the casting stat and in the target number? Is it because this ability is guaranteed to trigger a rams trigger in the target of the tactical action? Furthermore, are there models that can remove the suit from a casting stat, making it read: (1) Restore Natural Order (Ca 5 / TN: 17 [...continued] ... instead (ie removing one of the rams), thus making the duel more difficult? I hope my question makes sense. I have not yet aquired the proper Malifaux vocabulary. Sorrry!
