Forum:Dedication through Light and Darkness

K, surprisingly I couldn't find a forum for this topic yet... I was dueling against someone and he used Dedication through Light and Darkness on Dark Magician Girl and special summoned Dark Magician of Chaos (Ritual). I had two problems with this move: 1. the card says Dark Magician, not Dark Magician Girl. My opponent argued that because Dark Magician Girl has the phrase Dark Magician in it that it was a legal move. I seem to run into this argument A LOT, though I honestly think it has no bearing and I have no idea why people think you can substitute Dark Magician Girl for Dark Magician on every card... (I honestly don't think you can on any...) 2. I was under the impression that the card special summoned Dark Magician of Chaos (effect) not Dark Magician of Chaos (ritual). My opponent argued that because the card doesn't specify the effect monster that he could.

Neither of these issues are answered in rulings. Could someone answer all of this for me so that I have some reference to show people?Dragula42 (talk • contribs) 05:45, August 21, 2011 (UTC)Dragula42
