Default Questions on Malign Mirror

1. When a player that currently fights a monster is being cursed with Malign Mirror, does the Curse affect this on-going battle or the player's next one?(The confusion came from the word "next" in the card text)
2. When a helper is involved in the battle does the Curse affect him too, meaning he can't use his weapons/items/one-shots as well?
3. If an one-shot item has been used in the battle before the Curse was played does it return to owner's hand/table or just loses effect and goes to discards after the battle is over?

The rules say explicitly that if you get hit with a "next combat" Curse while you are in combat, that Curse takes effect immediately.

The Curse only affects the Cursed player.

For simplicity's sake, I'm going to say that one-shots played prior to the Curse are still valid. Of course, the Cursed player cannot play any more.

So, can helper use one-shot bonuses or not? Can helper use ability granted bonuses (e.g. Berserking)? Can other players play one-shot to aid Cursed player?

Malign Mirror only affects Items, so either player could use bonuses from other sources.

And that answer is superannuated?

I think that what you mean is "superseded."

And yes, I'm clarifying that seven-year-old ruling.
