Forum:Ring of Magnetism/Earthbound Immortal Query

Earthbound Immortal's cannot be selected as attack targets, but Ring of Magnetism forces you to attack it. Are attacks negated, or does the attack still occur? Just mildly curious, as for all the coolness of Earthbound Immortals, that your opponent can attack you directly round it is very annoying when the only Immortal I have is Rasca!
