  • The effect targets 1 face-up Spellcaster-Type monster in your Monster Zone.[1]
  • "Tribute that target, then Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand" must be applied, but you can choose not to apply "then you can destroy 1 monster on the field". (If "then you can destroy 1 monster on the field" is applied, the monster to be destroyed is chosen when that effect is applied.)[1]
  • The application of "Tribute that target, then Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand" and the application of "then you can destroy 1 monster on the field" are not treated as being done at the same time.[1]
  • Even if the only monsters on your field and unaffected by Spell effects, if there is a Spellcaster-Type monster on your field, you can activate "Magical Dimension". Furthermore, if the monster targeted by the effect of "Magicial Dimension" is unaffected by Spell effects due to the effect of "Forbidden Lance" etc., the monster cannot be Tributed by the effect of "Magicial Dimension" and the effect is not applied. (Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand" and "then you can destroy 1 monster on the field" are also not applied.)[2]
  • If "Vanity's Emptiness" is activated in Chain to the activation of "Magical Dimension", only "Tribute that target" is performed. (Special Summoning a Spellcaster-Type monster from the hand and destroying a monster on the field cannot be performed.)[3]

  • Apprentice Illusion Magician: Even if "Apprentice Illusion Magician" is Special Summoned with the effect of "Magical Dimension", its effect that adds a "Dark Magician" from the Deck to the hand can be activated. (Even if "Magical Dimension" was activated as Chain Link 2 or higher and Special Summoned "Apprentice Illusion Magician", the monster effect of "Apprentice Illusion Magician" can be activated after that Chain resolves.)[4]
  • Summon Reactor・SK: If a monster is Special Summoned by a card effect, the effect of "Summon Reactor・SK" activates after the Chain in which that effect was activated resolves. Consequently, if a "Summon Reactor ・SK" on the field is destroyed by the effect of "Magical Dimension", the effect to inflict damage to the opponent's LP does not activate.[5]

Notes

  1. The latest print of "Dark Magician of Chaos" uses Problem-Solving Card Text, which makes it clear that its effect activates during the End Phase of the turn it was Normal or Special Summoned, not when it is Summoned. This also means that its effect cannot miss the timing and cannot be part of Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain. This difference is due to a major change in the functionality of "Dark Magician of Chaos".
