enchantment transfusion

[Wouter]

When you reveal enchantment transfusion, do you need line of sight to shift it to the new target? As long as it is  a legal target offcours

[Zuberi]

Yes. Page 15 of the Rules Supplement says that targeting requires three things: That the Object be within Line of Sight, be within Range, and meet the specific targeting restrictions of the spell or effect in question.

Now the cool thing with [mwcard=MWSTX1CKE04]Enchantment Transfusion[/mwcard] though is that the enchantment is the thing that needs to be able to target the new creature, so you draw line of sight from it.

[Wouter]

Owkay, so just to get the working of the card straight and to make no errors in the game:

I have my mage with no enchantments, I have a gargoyl in the same zone as me with a reverse attack and a enchantment transfusion on it (hidden).

My mage becomes the target of a fireball --> step 1: cast spell.
Step 2: counter spel --> I reveal my enchantment transfusion from the gargoyl en shift the reverse attack to my mage
Step 3: resolve spell --> I reverse atack the fireball back to the caster.

Is this a legal working for enchantment transfusion?

[sdougla2]

Yes, that is a legal way to use Enchantment Transfusion, though the attack will be reversed in the Avoid Attack Step of the attack sequence.

[Zuberi]

You can reveal [mwcard=MWSTX1CKE04]Enchantment Transfusion[/mwcard] in between any of the casting or combat steps, as long as you reveal it before the Avoid Attack Step, because that is when [mwcard=MW1E34]Reverse Attack[/mwcard] would need to be revealed to send the fireball back at the caster. So, it could go like this:

Step 1: Cast Fireball
Step 2: Counter Spell (Nothing Happens)
Step 3: Resolve Fireball

Step 1: Declare Attack
After Step 1: Reveal Enchantment Transfusion and Move the Reverse Magic
Step 2: Avoid Attack (Reverse Magic gets revealed and sends the fireball attack back at the caster)
Continue Combat Steps...

Oh good!  I found the answer to my question without having to post a new thread.

So what you're saying is that a [mwcard=MW1C37]Thunderift Falcon[/mwcard] with [mwcard=MW1E11]Divine Intervention[/mwcard] and [mwcard=MWSTX1CKE04]Enchantment Transfusion[/mwcard] is the perfect nut cracker?  Maybe with a [mwcard=MW1E10]Decoy[/mwcard] to bait out a [mwcard=MW1E29]Nullify[/mwcard] first?  It's expensive, but very hard to defend against a Priestess DI'ing you into her angel death pit.

You're trying to kidnap a turtling mage from behind some walls, using a flying creature and Enchantment Transfusion to gain LoS? Yeah, that works.

My advice is to wait until they try to cast something expensive before teleporting them. Divine Intervention cancels spells (including creatures) if the target or the caster is teleported.

you mean that if you teleport the caster before the resolution of his spell, the spell is canceled?
where do you read that?

[Boocheck]

Yes.

When a spell resolves, if you find that the target of the spell is no longer a legal target or has moved, even to the same zone, then the spell is cancelled.

that's the target!

[Laddinfance]

It's on page 7 of the supplement. If either the target or the caster moves the spell is lost.

thanks!

Oh, since I didn't mention it, my question was about LOS requirements for Enchantment Transfusion.

[Ophidimancer]

Hmm .. ran into another question in my game against the husband tonight.  I was on my Beastmaster and he was on his Warlock.  He revealed Enchantment Transfusion to move a stack of three curses to me, the first one (he picked which one since it was his initiative) was Nullified, and then I wanted to reveal an Enchantment Transfusion on my Fellella to move another Nullify to my mage to prevent a second curse, but we ruled that was an interruption of the one action used to move all three curses, so I took two curses.

Did we do that correctly?  Do you count the transfusion of multiple face down enchantments as all one action, or are they separate (and this interruptable by the reveal of another Enchantment Transfusion)?  If they are separate, do they count as being cast on the target, or is moving an enchantment different than casting it?

You can't Nullify Enchantment Transfusion like that. Nullify is triggered during the Counter Spell. When you reveal ET like this it has already been successfully cast. Currently there is not much you can do to avoid ET once it is revealed. Zuberi might have more on this front, but that is what I can come up with this late at night.
