Ok I got the mechanics of the game, really it is some of the cards.

on page 15 it talks about an example of attacking a whirling Spirit.

normal attacking is +2 dice and I only count 1's as damage

but here is where I am confused.
Pillar of light says +2 dice with D12 for daze and stun but it also say +2 non living creatures

I am clear on what Pillar of Light rolling 2 dice on the Whirling Spirit it takes what damage is on the dice but the Pillar of Light card it also states +2 on non living creatures. The Whirling Spirit is a non living creature does that mean I also get another +2 dice to my attack using Pillar of Light?  If this is true I wonder why they didn't include it into the example?

Following up on this, looking at the Whirling Spirit card it says +4 dice with D12 push/push+daze but it also says Ethereal +2 vs. Incorporeal

I would interpret it as +4 dice normally or +6 against incorporeal creatures?

I am sorry to sound stupid but I am really confused with some of these cards
