Forum:Full activation

We all know that you can't activate an effect unless the full effect can resolve (eg you can't activate Book of Life while Imperial Iron Wall is active, and you can't use the effect of Black Rose Dragon on an Attack Position monster to make its ATK 0). With this in mind, I have 2 questions:

1. Can you activate Pot of Avarice while you have fewer than 2 cards in your Deck? Since the second part of the effect is impossible at activation, but would automatically become possible after the first part of the effect resolved. Does the situation change if Transmigration Break is active?

2. How come Hieratic Seal of the Sun Dragon Overlord is a valid Summon from the effects of Hieratic monsters? Since they can't make its ATK and DEF 0, as they already are 0.
