When does NRA apply/not apply

a)
"the action ends (unsecesfully)" does the paranthesis state that the action resolved unsucesfully, despite not reaching resolution, therefore being subjected to NRA?

b)
"the action fails" does the word "fail" imply that the action resolced unsucesfull, dsepite noit reaching resolution, therefore being subjected to NRA?

c)
"the action ends" in the case tthat a) means that the action is subjecrted by NRA, is the paranthesis only a remainder, meaning Kiss of ra also ends (unsucesfully), or would this card need a rewording, to be in line with earlier rulings?

d)
"Cancel the action" Action did not reach resolution, and did not end. Does NRA apply?

e)
"The action fails and the acting monster enters combat with this imbued instead." In case that in b) NRA does not apply, does it apply here,sicne there is a combat, or is this combat unrelated to the action resolution?

In my opinion, it does not matter if the action "ends", "fails" or "is cancelled" when it comes down to the NRA question. NRA has to do with wether or not you reached action resolution (block resolution, or successful action resolution).

It seems we still need an RD input on a few of those though, I know I did not manage to convince some seasoned players on this ☺︎

Did not reach resolution (action ends before block): no NRA

Here are some examples already explained www.vekn.net/forum/rules-questions/79001-the-question-of-the-month-action-fizzles

Ended actions and canceled actions do not reach resolution and are therefore not subjected to NRA edit: this is a bit oversimplified, see below for more details.

For failed actions see www.vekn.net/forum/rules-questions/78475-action-fails-what-happens-exactly#99087

it resolves without effect, therefore NRA applies.

Oh wow, I stand corrected, I was so wrong. Now I have no idea what happens to actions that just end or end unsuccessfully. Is that not failing? But NRA does not apply to Kiss of Ra, right? I'm confused.

Failing and ending actions are not the same. I just realised, that my previous post does not seem to be entirely accurate.

Failing actions (for example through Hide the Heart or Secret Passage) resolve without effect. That is something different than ending actions.

Ending actions just end. If they were already blocked and the effect to end the action is played then (like Change of Target), NRA applies. That's why a minion playing Change of Target cannot use a cardless bleed after playing it on for example an inferior Govern. If they were not blocked at that point, like with Kiss of Ra (requires a block attempt and cancels that attempt), NRA does not apply, since the action ends before resolution.

For ending actions when a block is succesfull see: groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/qKrJPLXBFFw/m/hE5z511E_PgJ

For the other two cases see the links I posted earlier.

Example 4 - (card says the action ended, but no says what its resolution)
Minion A plays Kiss of Ra against another vampire. What happen with the resolution of the action?

The action was not blocked ("attempts to block"), so it did not reach resolution. It ends, so the action is over. The acting minion cannot play Freak Drive since there is no more ongoing action.

Thanks for answers Ankha. In the above case, if the minion manages to unlock (with Mylan or Abdelsobek for example) he can perform the same action again?

Example:

Minion A bleed with Legal Manipulations and play Kiss of Ra in response of block. Mylan unlock Minion A.

Can Minion A play Legal Manipulations again?

Yes, since the first action did not reach resolution.
