Forum:Fairy's Hand Mirror

I have some questions regarding the rulings and the available targets of Fairy's Hand Mirror. The effect says "Switch the opponent's Spell Card effect that designates 1 monster as a target to another correct target. ".
 * The text "opponent's Spell Card effect", instead of "opponent's Spell Card activation" or "opponent's Spell Card effect activation" indicated that Fairy's Hand Mirror can be played even when that spell card is already active and face-up on the field. I also read through the net that you can actually play this trap to switch an opponent's equip Spell Card to another target even if it was already on the field. Is this possible?
 * The text mentions a "Spell Card effect that designates 1 monster as a target". Does this mean Fairy's Hand Mirror can be used against Spell Cards that target 1 card on the deck, hand or graveyard? For example, if my opponent plays Foolish Burial can I chain my Fairy's Hand Mirror and get to chose the monster he sends to the graveyard? Can it also be played against Continuous Spell Cards when they activate their effects? (e.g. Call of the Mummy special summons 1 zombie-type monster from the hand) If you ask me, it seems broken enough to me but then again there's nothing on the card that forbids it. However, there's a line in Fairy's Hand Mirror rulings that triggered my thoughts. "Premature Burial: You cannot activate "Fairy's Hand Mirror" to make your opponent chose a different monster when they activate "Premature Burial".". Premature Burial targets a monster, so it doesn't contradict with the trap's effect. So why can't Fairy's Hand Mirror be used against its activation? Also, does the fact that Premature Burial officially can't be targeted means by default that this is also the case for all cards that target in the graveyard (e.g. Monster Reborn, Level Modulation, etc.)? If yes, shouldn't there be a simple ruling that states "Fairy's Hand Mirror can't be played on Spell Cards that target in the graveyard"? Moreover, if the card is anyway designed to work only on the field, shouldn't that be included in the text when its Errata was changed?
 * And a "wild" question. Fairy's Hand Mirror rulings state that it cannot activate against Premature Burial's activation. However, Premature Burial is an equip card that also targets its equiped monster and destroys it when the spell is destroyed. So, can I play Fairy's Hand Mirror to put Premature Burial to another (obviously stronger) monster on my opponent's control and then play Mystical Space Typhoon to practically destroy that monster?

Please include official rullings wherever possible. Where you can find none, I would also hear your personal opinions.Cuorion (talk • contribs) 14:23, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
