Hi,
Have two short questions:
Can I attach Cultist Infiltrator using border market ability Open: Bow this card, choose your performing Personality, and target a non-Unique Follower or Item in your discard pile: Attach it to your performer, paying all costs. to my oponent's personality?
cultist - You may attach this card to a Personality you do not control. This card will not be transferred. After each Straighten Phase: Give this Personality a -1C token.
I am asking becouse the normal rule of equip says also abut - Limited: Any number of times per turn, choose your performing Personality and target an attachment card in your hand: Attach it to him, paying all costs.
The second question is about Mastering the elements: Reaction: Once per game, after this card enters play, target your Spell and pay Gold equal to its base Gold Cost: This card permanently copies the Spell's keywords, traits, and its base abilities that do not themselves copy abilities.
Which spell I can copie? Can I copie only spell that is already in pleay or can I also copy a sell from my discard pile or fate deck?
Thanks for reply

1. No, because Border Market specifies that you need to choose YOUR performing Personality.
2. As a general rule, you may only target cards that are in play, and Mastering the Elements is no exception; the spell must be in play. Please see Areas of the Game for additional information.
