Aid Endurance in practice

[Sailboat]

So I have a character for a new campaign (I know, right?  Exciting!) who has a 4d6 Aid to END.  I know END counts as a defensive ability, so the total on the dice gets halved, which makes it 7 character points on average, which is 35 END.

 

As an Aid, that can put the target  above starting values, and 5 points if it fade in the post-12.  But I have questions about how this works in practice. 

 

So let's say on starting Seg 12, I Aid myself +35 END.  Immediately in the post-12 that fades to a mere +10 END.  In my next phase, can I Aid myself again?  Is repeating that possible until I reach the cap of (max that can be rolled on 4 dice, that is, 24 points)?

 

END I use for powers comes out of the extra temporary Aided END until I use that up or it fades, right?

 

In later turns, let's say I still have +35 END from Aid that has not yet faded or been used, I could use Aid again up to the 24-points-Aided cap, right?  But then I'd have to wait for some to fade before I could "top off" again?

 

Thanks for any insights you can provide.

That is how I understand it.

Right, you use extra stats before you get to the character's personal ones. If someone Aided your BODY and you were stabbed by a deer's antlers, it would take Body away from the Aided amount first.

Well you could still use the Aid but it wouldn't do anything until some has faded away, or you have used some END in actions. In that case it would top it off, again.
