Resolved Pulling Damage from Enhanced Signature Spell and stores

[Jack Y.]

A question that was raised to me as a rules marshal but that I am stumped on:

When using Enhance Signature Spell, is it possible to Enhance a 5th level spell to 50 points of damage then pull the damage to 45 in order to place it in a Spell Store or charge an Energized Weapon? (Season to taste with other rituals etc that store a spell's numeric value.)

I am unsure if lessening the numeric value of a spell would work in this way, even with the text from Page 30 under the Calling Damage section as excerpted here:



Very Respectfully,

The "output" of the spell, as determined by the call used, is what determines eligibility for use with things like Spell Store, Energized Weapon, or Counterspell.
