Magical Scientist
Card effect (current official text)Pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon 1 level 6 or lower Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck in face-up Attack or Defense Position. That Fusion Monster cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly, and is returned to your Extra Deck at the end of the turn.
Rulings
- You can use Magical Scientist's effect multiple times in the same turn.
- Magical Scientist's effect does not target.
- If you Special Summon Reaper on the Nightmare with Magical Scientist, it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly (but can attack a monster).
- You cannot activate Secret Pass to the Treasures targeting a Fusion Monster Special Summoned with Magical Scientist because it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly that turn.
- If Skill Drain is activated after a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned with Magical Scientist, the effect of Magical Scientist (that makes the Fusion Monster unable to attack directly and have to go back to the Extra Deck) has been applied already, and is not negated, so the Special Summoned Fusion Monster still cannot attack directly and must go back to the Extra Deck.
- If Jowgen the Spiritualist is on the field, you cannot activate the effect of Magical Scientist (so you cannot even pay the cost to try and activate Last Turn, for example).
