Create Food and Water with an Empty Bag

Create Food and Water states "Draw dice from your bag until you draw a non-NPC die or your bag is empty. Prep all dice drawn this way."

How does Create Food and Water work if you use it while you have an empty bag and dice in your Used Pile?

Do you:
a) Attempt to draw a die, but because your bag is empty, the effect immediately resolves and does nothing.
b) Refill your bag because you can draw a die and draw until your bag is empty again or you draw a non-NPC (non-sidekick die).
c) You cannot use the action because your bag is empty.
d) Some other option.

For both Create Food and Water and Insect Plague, the answer is (c). You would draw no dice because your bag is already empty, but you cannot use an action for no effect, and thus you would not be permitted to use either action at all in these circumstances.

Does this ruling also pertain to the Heist basic action?

Heist works differently - since it doesn't draw a conditional number of dice, even if your opponent's bag that you target is empty, they'll refill their bag from their Used Pile in order to have dice to draw.
