Gotcha that makes sense and actually clears up a couple other questions I may have had.  I'm still pretty new to the game, but love it so far and I am getting into it.  Thanks for the clarification.

So you can have Ranged +2 then, which I can think of a couple handy situations for that.  Cool.

hmm ok that is what I thought.  I would think for a lightning ring it would make more sense to increase "ranged" damage and not increase "melee" damage.  But at least it increases the range.

Bonus question on stacking...

Do traits stack or does it take the highest value?

Like I "think" if you have regen +1 and regen +2 on a creature only the +2 works it doesn't get +3 right?

So for something like increased range can you stack those?  ie could you equip a lightning ring for +1 range AND have Hawkeye on for ANOTHER +1 so you would get +2 range or would you just get +1?

I am fairly new to Mage Wars (played 6 games so far) LOVE it.  I am really liking the wands as I tend to go a bit more spell heavy than creature heavy in my decks.

My question is I'm looking for advice on the best ways to protect the wands from things such as dissolve, steal equipment etc.  In relation to that topic I have a few specific questions that will help my game in other areas as well.

Q1.  If you put (2) two different must reveal face down enchantments on yourself do you HAVE to resolve them BOTH if you are targeted or do you get to select?  For example can you put a "Reverse Magic" PLUS a "Nullify" both face down on yourself, or would that be really dumb because you'd have to resolve BOTH of them if you get targeted by something that would trigger.  And IF you do have both on you (to try to draw out someone to use a seeking dispell) but they target you with a Dissolve instead can you PICK which one triggers first (ie pick to Reverse Magic and the Nullify would just get wasted).

Q2.  Does Nullify block ALL incantations or enchantments cast on you (including positive effects, or just negative ones)?  For example...I was using nullify to hopefully nullify one of the dissolves I knew he was going to cast.  But I think nullify says it blocks any incantation OR enchantment cast on you.  So he cast a "Hawkeye" enchantment on me first then dissolve.  So I guess the real question is does the Hawkeye enchantment (even though it is positive) trigger the Nullify and the Hawkeye and the Nullify are both discarded?
