Can you research a clue you don't have, or take a research or ward action with nothing to act on?

The rulebook limits researching to your player area; that empty research and ward actions are allowed rests on a community report.

You can only research clues in your player area unless an effect specifically allows otherwise. You can still take a research or ward action when there is nothing to research or remove, but it accomplishes nothing.
