• If a discard special ability does not specify a target area outside the Field of Play, then the effect of the special ability is understood to only be usable on cards “in play.”
• If a site, artifact, or character is discarded or returned to hand, discard all cards placed on it. If a card leaves the Land of Bondage, discard all evil cards placed on it other than Lost Souls or captured characters.
• The following is understood when discarding a site: “If site still holds a Lost Soul, Lost Soul is returned to general Land of Bondage. Discard any other cards in that site.” Unless stated otherwise, holder chooses which site (occupied or unoccupied) to discard.
• “Evil cards” mentioned when discarding a site refers to cards that guard or fortify the site (see Fortify or Place on page 35). The site does not have to have Evil Characters guarding it to be discarded.
• The following is understood when discarding a card from hand: “discard a card from hand without using it” (e.g., I Corinthians 1:27).
• Cards with ongoing abilities that are not negated continue until the end of the phase in which they are discarded or removed from battle (in the case of special abilities on characters and enhancements, unless specified otherwise), or discarded or removed from play (in the case of sites, artifacts, fortresses, lost souls, placed cards, etc…).
