Can you play the Elder Sign on a town whose gate is not sealed, and does the effect carry over?

The designer described the Elder Sign's use on a closed gate, and the rulebook says the Seal token turns over.

No effect. The Elder Sign works only on a town whose gate already has the closed (X) marker, which you flip to the Elder Sign side. Playing it elsewhere does nothing, and it does not carry over to a later seal.
