wotc4 Oct 2004
Changing the text of a spell will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because the targets were chosen when the spell was cast. The text change will (probably) cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal.

You choose the words to change on resolution.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It can’t change a word to the same word. It must be a different word.
wotc4 Oct 2004
