I don't know of any Curses or Traps in any Munchkin set which would interfere with the Munchkinomicon's spell-granting power.

The card I'm referring to is from Unnatural Axe and is called Cursed Thingy. It states that it can be played on an item that gives a combat bonus or special powers, and the text further states that it loses its powers.

So would this not apply to the Munchkinomicon?

i did that exact thing this week end at Rancon and it worked according to the MIB that was running the pre-qualifier I was playing in.

Andrew, they played cursed thingy on the book, which is a +5 item. Could not see anything that would stop it.

So my question then is this: If the Munchkinomicon is cursed via Cursed Thingy, it is supposed to lose its powers. Does this include the ability to whisper spells? I would assume yes, but looking for confirmation.

Yes Uttwich... The Munchkinomicon is useless until the cursed is removed.

Related question: The Munchkinomicon comes to you and whispers a spell in the process if you successfully curse someone, but let's say that curse is Cursed Thingy and is used on the Munchkinomicon. I'm guessing that since the Munchkinomicon was cursed, it must stay where it is (per the text on Cursed Thingy) and its ability to pledge allegiance to the curser would be negated since it lost its powers? I know now that it won't whisper spells, just curious now about the ruling on if it would go to the curser.

I ruled, until Andrew and Erik over ruled me, clock is ticking, the curse overruled to book. I figured that the card overruled the card.


This was the same game where a wonderus discussion about wand of dowsing and the Spell stack. Now, per what Erik stated, I stopped anyone from using it to search the "spell discard deck" and only allowed Doors and Treasures.

Doesn't the Wand of Dowsing require you to look for items of value? Which would therefore prevent you from going through the spell deck?

No, it doesn't.
