Rulings
- The cards you can play with his first ability must be a card you can legally play in that battle at that time. This means they must be a Battle, Open, or (possibly) Reaction card, although if you have an unbowed sahir at the battle you may play a Spell as your choice. [RL, 8/2/99] Legend of the Burning Sands FAQ, Official FAQ and accumulated rulings, version 1.1, October 1999, p. 17
- Nepherus must be assigned to the battle to use his abilities. [RL, 8/12/98] Legend of the Burning Sands FAQ, Official FAQ and accumulated rulings, version 1.1, October 1999, p. 17
- Erratum: Nepherus' trait should read, in part, "Any Jinn in play may bow, as an Open action, to challenge Nepherus to an unrefusable duel. If this action is taken in battle, the Jinn must be opposing Nepherus." [drh, 9/1/99] Legend of the Burning Sands FAQ, Official FAQ and accumulated rulings, version 1.1, October 1999, p. 18
