Players than select a spot for one of their crystals that match the drawn animus. If the player has no crystals left they may move one of their crystals from one of their cards to another of their cards of the animus type.
Player may also pass if they do not wish to play a crystal, do not have a portal with a matching crystal of that animus, or have no crystals to play.
