When does Mark of Subversion fire? - Guild Wars Forums

There's an ambiguity in this spell's definition...

Quote:

For 4-9 seconds, the next time target foe casts a spell on an ally, the spell fails and you steal 10-76 health from that foe.

Is that 'ally' an ally of the enemy caster or an ally of yours? That is, would Mark of Subversion fire if:

a) you cast on an enemy Monk and the enemy monk heals another enemy, or
b) you cast on an enemy elementalist and the elementalist fireballs an ally of yours.

The spell is triggered when the target casts a spell on themself or one of their teammates. Basically their ally (including themself), not your ally.

So in your examples, "A" would trigger it, "B" would not.

It's basically an anti-enchantment/anti-heal/anti-hex removal spell.
