Activate is a level 1 Puppetmaster ability in Final Fantasy XI. Using the ability will call forth the player's automaton. It is an instant self-cast spell that can be reused after twenty minutes.
To activate an effect is to have the effect start a Chain Link. This goes for Effect Monsters, Spell Cards, and Trap Cards. Continuous Effects never activate, since they never start Chain Links.
To activate a Spell or Trap Card is to have it start a Chain Link by playing it to the field face-up. That is, to activate a Spell or Trap Card is to play it from your hand face-up, or to have the card face-down on the field and flip it face-up. Monster Cards cannot be activated.
Note that activating a card is different from activating the effect of a card. For example, some effects - like "Magic Jammer" and "Skilled Dark Magician" - only apply to when a Spell Card is activated, but do not apply when the effect of a Spell Card is activated.
To Activate a card is to use its effect. This goes for Effect Monsters, Spell Cards, and Trap Cards.
When a card is activated, it automatically becomes "Chain Link 1". If the other player chooses not to counter with a "Chain Link 2", then that Chain resolves normally with only one link.
