Card Rulings:Forbidden Ritual Art


 * When activating this card, if there is not an appropriate monster in your opponent's hand to Tribute, you must Tribute monsters from your hand and/or field whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of a Ritual Monster in your hand. If you cannot (your opponent can check your hand and Set monsters you control), this card's effect cannot be applied.


 * If your opponent's hand is being revealed by an effect like that of "" and there is not an appropriate monster in their hand to Tribute, you cannot activate this card.
 * If you activate this card and an effect that reveals your opponent's hand is chained, and there is not an appropriate monster in their hand to Tribute, you can still perform the Ritual Summon by Tributing monsters from your hand or field (this is because it was unknown if there was an appropriate monster to choose in their hand when activating this card).


 * If a card or effect is chained to this card's activation so that the chosen monster in your opponent's hand it is no longer in their hand (including the effect of that chosen monster itself), that monster cannot be Tributed for this card's effect, and you must Tribute all Levels from your hand or field.


 * If the opponent's monster in the hand has an effect that activates when it is Tributed by a card effect, that effect will activate. It counts as being Tributed by this card, not by the opponent.
