wotc1 Oct 2005
You check which creatures share a color with the target when the spell resolves.
wotc1 Oct 2005
Only one creature is targeted. If that creature leaves the battlefield or otherwise becomes an illegal target, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No other creatures are affected.
wotc1 Oct 2005
If it targets a colorless creature, it doesn’t affect any other creatures. A colorless creature shares a color with nothing, not even other colorless creatures.
wotc1 Oct 2005
All creatures that share a color are affected, even your own.
wotc1 Oct 2005
A creature “shares a color” with any creature that is at least one of its colors. For example, a green-white creature shares a color with creatures that are green, white, green-white, red-white, black-green, and so on.
