Well, by the logic of your reminder, the only Spells/Impacts that can have Act abilities are Sets, and that doesn't work. Take for example, a spell like Dragonic Heal, with no condition text. With no condition text, Auto doesn't work because there's no specific situation that its triggering at. Continuous doesn't work because the effect doesn't remain in any form past the initial resolution.

The only logical way to do things otherwise is to consider ALL abilities of non-Set Spells/Impacts (or those with effects while in the soul of something) to be Automatic, with the situation being the cast of the Spell/Impact.
