Rules Q&A

• Q: i need some clarifications on "The searing touch of jigoku" oops. my question is this event negation only specifically negates events that enter play with an action right? second. does the negation action on the card only work if i "flash" it out with invest or does it also work if its just sitting out there on my personality? OBH rules
  A: So, to answer your questions:
  1. The negation action affects any action that is on an Event. In many cases, that will be the action that puts them into play, but many Ivory/20F+ Events instead have actions that you simply use from the Province and then discard the Event straight from there.
  2. The Invest is a wholly separate thing from the negation Interrupt. You can "Interrupt Equip" the Spell, and then take the negation Interrupt while it's in play, or you can take the negation Interrupt while it's already in play. Or you can Interrupt Equip the Spell and not take the negation Interrupt. Whichever.
  (Replying to a player: "one more quick question about egg of pan ku. if i have a 5 force guy with a plus 4 force weapon on him. play egg targeting my guy. is the copy 9 force or 5?") 5 To elaborate, "permanent effects" copied from the original (per Egg's text) would be ongoing effects with a "permanent/end of game" duration; not Item modifications.
