Creature or permanent activated skills don't get returned to you.

If you try and play a card and click cancel you will get your quantums back.

Although I'm sure there's probably an exception somebody will point out...

But on some creatures I DO get the quantum back when I click cancel and I can choose the skill again that turn

I've noticed that many skills, if you click them then decide you don't want ot use it and click cancel will not return the cost back to you. Many do, but many more don't :(

I'm not aware of any bug related to me....

Ya, that shouldn't happen.  If it did happen I'm 95% sure that it was in PvP... where everything is buggy.

What about the other 5%? ???
I've come to the conclusion that it's best to hold back a bit on the Internet.  That left over 5% is my safe-guard.  Weird things can happen, so who knows.  I got a mutant with the Queen ability and that wasn't on PvP.  Basically I got a Firefly Queen that was buried.  It produced normal fireflies and was a 3/7.  So... I don't think was supposed to happen.  Besides, the person who's absolutely positive is the person who finds their absolutely wrong.

This is all true, and intended. Also, if you use a skill of a monster, and then cancel it, not only do you not get the quantum back, but you can't reuse the skill until your next turn. This has been said before, I think. Anyways, I'm moving it to the Pest Control section, where it belongs.

Which creatures? That shouldn't happen. Zanzarino programmed the game to not refund the ability or the quantum when you cancel a creature's ability.

I'll start using and cancelling skills on purpose and get a list of the creatures that can and can't re-use a skill or get quantum refund after cancelling

I've been playing a long time and have never seen a creature ability refund upon cancel.  It's one of my pet peeves - can't tell you how many times I've wanted to Devour something with my otyugh, looked on the board, seen that I should have destroyed something with my Pulverizer, then died a little inside because I only had one gravity quantum.
