Chapter 219

Before we begin, let me explain a few Spell Cards.

"1031: Analysis/Analysis"

Allows you to see the description of an Item Card with a specified number (excluding No. 000).

"1032: Treasure Lottery"

Randomly transforms into an Item Card.

"1038: Roster"

Allows you to specify a target item.

And know the number of people currently possessing that Item Card and the total number of cards.

Because it is a card that does not have other markings as an "Item Card."

Therefore, it can be interpreted that the effects of these three Spells do not target "Spell Cards," so I would like to consider this a little.

The source material does not resolve this issue, nor has it ever used these Spells to target "Spell Cards."

Specifically as follows.

I have never seen an explanation of a Spell Card with an "Analysis" effect.

Never been transformed into a card by the effect of "Treasure Lottery."

I have never checked the number of Spell Cards possessed and the total number of cards produced by the "Roster" effect.

Among them, "Roster" is particularly important; in a situation where Spell Cards are almost monopolized, whether or not one can check the total number of cards is an important factor affecting various strategies.

Written like this, my impression is that unless there is a description, you cannot target "Spell Cards." Considering that Gon and his friends specifically purchased Spell information from the Trade Shop in the original work, it seems more likely that this is the case...

However, the card below shows:

"1034: Purification/Purification"

Cancels the Transmutation of an attack Magic and restores it.

(If the number of restored cards is MAX, it returns as an item, and then

cannot be transformed into a card.

Spell Cards return as items with the maximum number of cards. If

that Spell cannot be used, it will be destroyed.)

In the text of this "Purification," it says "when a Spell Card returns as an item with the maximum number of cards."

In other words, Spells are included in items—"Spell Cards" are also treated as "Item Cards."

Therefore, even if "Item Cards" are listed in "Analysis," "Treasure Lottery," and "Roster," the conclusion is that "Spell Cards" are also included in the effect targets.

Nevertheless, the reason there is no description in the original work or the original version of using "Roster" against "Spell Cards" is that the effect of "God Eye/God Eye" is targeted at cards No. 1 to No. 99. Therefore, it is easy for players to misunderstand that "Roster," as the source of the effect, cannot target anything other than the specified Pocket Cards.

It seems that the original Gon and his friends bought Spell information at the shop because they wanted to hear the details of Spells that are difficult to understand just by looking at the card text (such as Paladin's Necklace).

On the other hand, the following Spell commentary.

"1030: Signpost/Signpost"

Allows you to know the location of an item with a specified number (excluding No. 000).

Here, you can also specify the number of a "Spell Card," and it will be displayed as Masadora.

The last card:

"1037: Regeneration/Recycling"

Items that have already had their card production canceled.

Can have cards produced again. "Regeneration" is destroyed.) This is a judgment that "Spells cannot be targeted." The reason is simple: once a Spell is declared to be used, it is considered to be in a "missing state" and cannot be undone. First of all, if "Obtained Waiting Item" or "Unified Item" is changed from its original state through "destruction" or "reduction of item quantity" in the item state, it is considered to be in a "missing state." Consider and cannot be re-listed in any way. Otherwise, all sorts of annoying things might be done... (Splitting an item into two and trying to use "Regeneration" on each) That is all. Sorry for the long wait. September 16, 2000, the second day of GI!
