    """#021 Shax — Passive trigger: When Shax Fatally Wounds a Demon, Ready + 2 AP.

    Fires on FATALLY_WOUNDED. Activates if:
    - event.source is this Shax instance (Shax dealt the killing blow)
    - Shax is NOT fatally_wounded (dead demons cannot resolve)

    Effect: Shax's owner gains 2 AP and Shax is readied.
    "each Demon that was Fatally Wounded" — fires per death, so 2 AP per kill.

    CRITICAL (confusion #2): familiars ARE demons — triggers when Shax kills familiars too.
    CRITICAL: re-fetch Shax from current state to check latest fatally_wounded flag.
