Forum:Equip Card Targeting

This is something I need clarification on. I am aware that equip cards ALWAYS target. The question is does the card itself target as a general rule of how the mechanics of equip cards work. Or is it that the effects of the cards target.

From what I can tell it's the actual card. The two things I see are:

"Equip Spell Cards always target the monster which is being equipped."

This seems like it could mean either, but the wording leans more towards it being the card in general. This is backed by the important fact that as well as being spell cards, they are considered specifically as equip cards as well.

More important is the second thing I found.

"When you activate an Equip Spell Card you must choose a face-up monster on the field to equip the card to and that Equip Spell Card's effect applies to that monster until the card is destroyed, removed from the field, or flipped face-down, at which point the Equip Spell Card is destroyed."

This seems to clearly state that you are choosing/targeting the monster the card is equipped to. Further more, it goes on to state that the effect is applied to the equipped/targeted monster, but not that the effect targets it.

So am I correct on this or am I mistaken?
