It means if you have a 10 die pool to parry with and

you're caught before your initiative tick, you can
 +
activate a combo with DSD and GEB, get 10 dice from DSD

when you activate it ("buying" a parry) and buy another 10

dice with GEB, for a total of twenty dice on the parry.

You can also do this after you take a full action, or use

GEB to enhance automatic parries granted by a full scene

parry Charm.

Is that clear?

You can also do this after you take a full action, or use GEB to enhance automatic parries granted by a full scene parry Charm.

Is that clear?

Yes, thank you.

But I do have one other question. Is this a specific interaction between those two charms, or can you use GEB to add dice to any parry action?
