If I've played an asset like Wendy's Amulet, can I routinely apply the two wild skill icons to tests? Or can I only do that if I commit the card. I'm confused about whether or not the skill icons are only for committing to a single test or, if they are played and in my area, if they are persistent. Thanks.

You can either play a card, or commit it to a skill test. Committing it to a test from your hand ends up with you discarding that card. When an asset is in play, it no longer can add the pips to skills, and only helps if it has a boost in the card text itself like holy rosary.

That's what I was thinking. Getting that boost every time seemed op thanks a lot!
