FAQs
Q: Turning Auras into Minions!? Is this real?
Yes, indeed. Enchantress is a very versatile Avatar, and one that twists the rules to create very interesting games. Be sure to check these FAQs as well as the Auras you're looking to animate.
Q: Can you animate your opponent’s auras?
Yes, as long as you can target them (i.e. they are in the same region as the Enchantress). Your opponent still controls the aura minion.
Q: Do animated aura change size?
No.
Q: What happens when I animate aura XYZ?
See the FAQ entry for that specific aura.
Q: What is the proper timing of resolution for this effect?
Whenever you cast a spell, before that spell resolves, but after targets are specified, an aura may become a creature. For example, Overpower doesn’t use the word target, so the proper order would be: cast Overpower, animate an aura, then specify the ally due to the card text of Overpower (which could be the aura you just animated). But in the example of Chaos Twister, you would cast it and specify the target, then animate an aura, then resolve the spell (which could not target the aura, since it wasn't a minion yet when targets were chosen).
Q: My opponent is playing Enchantress. I target their animated aura with my Infiltrate. What happens at the start of their turn when the aura returns to being a normal aura?
You retain control of the aura until it loses stealth. While it is an aura, it can’t benefit from Stealth, though it will still lose stealth if it deals damage. If it becomes a minion again and didn’t lose Stealth, it will benefit from Stealth again.
Q: What happens when a Large unit moves “as if the sites were adjacent” ?
Choose a contiguous group of squares the large unit can occupy (e.g. 2x2 for a Mountain Giant) that includes the destination location, and it moves from its current locations to the chosen squares. By default, its level must remain the same, unless it has some other movement ability or effect.
Q: If Magellan Globe is in play and a Large unit on the top row moves “up” one row to wrap around to the bottom, what happens?
It will occupy 2 locations on the top row and 2 locations on the bottom row. Ensure that game state is clear, using notes as needed.
Q: If Magellan Globe leaves play when a card is spanning the edge of the realm, what happens?
Units can't balance on the edge of the realm and a large unit that finds its way there falls to one side or the other. Its controller places it in the closest legal position, controller's choice if tied.
Q: If Polar Explorers or Ruler of Thul are in play and a Large unit on the top row moves “up” one row to wrap around to the bottom, what happens?
Units can't balance on the edge of the realm and a large unit that finds its way there falls to one side or the other. Its controller places it in the closest legal position, controller's choice if tied.
