Rulings
- Effects from destroyed spells persist for their normal durations. [DW, 27 August 1998] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 74
- Spells are destroyed by the event, not themselves. [Card text] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 74
- The spell's effects on itself (e.g., self-destruction) occur first. Norikazu's Ravings take effects after the entire casting if the spell is still there. [Card text, 13 July 1999] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 74
Rules Q&A
- Q: So if Norikazu's Ravings is in play and a player tries to use a spell, costs are paid, targets are chosen, but are any effects actually produced?
A: Yes, effects resolve as normal. Zen Faulkes, "Norikazu's Ravings", 28 Mar 2005 - Q: If I try to surge person with surge attached while Norikazu's Ravings out, which happens:
A: See Archive, General, Spells. The spell is considered "cast" before effects resolve. So it's this one: Zen Faulkes, "Norikazu's Ravings + Surge", 28 Mar 2005
