Hi,
I was reading rulings today and was confused by how this ruling
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=113014
Interacts with this ruling
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=112030
If targeting now happens when costs are paid, which is before any interrupt is played where can the 2 gold additional cost be paid to target The Abbot as the pay costs step has already happened. Likewise if 2 Gold is paid in the initial costs step of the action in order to target The Abbot can it be redirected to another personality given the addiotional gold cost.
Thank you for clarifying this

That's on me, I messed up interpreting the paradoxes section. I've updated my incorrect ruling regarding the Abbot, the Favor, and Traditionalist.
