In a thread about Sonnia Criid we stumbled upon the following question, and I'm not sure how to answer it.
Sonnia has the following ability:
"Ancient Runes: This model gains to duels during its Ca Actions when targeting a model with Wp 6 or more."
My question is: Does this include duels she has to make for targeting the model, e.g. Terrifying and Manipulative?
The relevant rules can be found on page 37, big rulebook, where the sequence an Action is resolved is described. Under Step 1. Declare Action and spend AP the following sentence can be found:
"Sometimes a target will have special Abilities (such as Terrifying) that requires (sic!) a duel in response to being targeted. These duels are handled now, after AP is spent and targets are declared."
Step 2. Perform Duels follows.
For me, that part in Step 1 means that the Horror duel is performed during the action (during step 1 of the action, to be precise), and as it's a duel and the target is declared before, Sonnia could profit from the Ability.
For others who disagreed with me, Step 2. Perform Duels indicates that only duels performed during the second step of an action should be modified by the ability.
I hope I represented the arguments of both sides fairly. What do the rules masters think? Are there rule passages I overlooked that clear the question up?

Thank you for your attention.
