Burning Incapacitated Imbued & Their Equipment

Relevant rule (from rules card #5): "Any minion may burn an incapacitated imbued and take his equipment as a action."

Is a minion who burns an incapacitated imbued required to take its equipment? I'm not sure if the "may" in that rule applies to both sub-clauses, or if taking the equipment is a non-optional part of burning the incapacitated imbued.

Common sense would dictate that it should be treated like diablarie, with the equipment taken optionally. But this is a card game, and literal interpretation precedes common sense, unless "designer intent" can be proven.

Sure. Common sense would also suggest that, like diablerie, incapacitating should get+1 stealth if you target your own imbued…but that doesn't happen, either.
