Soulstone Usage

Draw Cards
During the draw phase, each player may spend a SS to draw 2 cards and must then discard down to their max hand size.
Enhance Duel
Before cards a flipped, a model may use a SS to add (+) to its flip or add a suit of its choice to its final duel total.
Block Damage
A model can spend a SS before a damage flip to add (-) to it.
Reduce Damage
After damage is suffered by a model, it can spend a SS to reduce it. The model flips a card (which cannot be cheated) and reduces the damage by 1/2/3. This reduction occurs after all other reduction and can reduce damage to 0.
