OK, so we are entirely in agreement as to how to use the blasted things, all we need is some more specific names for them... calling both the augmentation of a single Ability AND the overall cumulative effect 'edge' is the sole source of confusion here.
So, when the Actor wins, you take the two edges, opponent/defender subtracted from actor/attacker's, and the result is the edge. Edge - Edge = Edge
