• The "Once per turn: You can reveal 1 Pendulum Monster from your hand, then target 1 "Magician" card in your Pendulum Zone; its Pendulum Scale becomes the revealed monster's Pendulum Scale, until the end of this turn." effect starts a Chain Link. (It targets 1 “Magician” card in your Pendulum Zone. You can also target a "Dharma-Eye Magician" in your Pendulum Zone. This effect can only be activated during your Main Phase.)

• Revealing 1 Pendulum Monster in your hand is a cost to activate this effect. Then, you must target 1 "Magician" card in your Pendulum Zone with a different Pendulum Scale than the revealed monster. (For example, if you want to target a "Timegazer Magician" whose Pendulum Scale is 8, you cannot reveal a "Xiangsheng Magician" in your hand whose Pendulum Scale is also 8.)

• During the turn the Pendulum Effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" is applied, the "Unless you have a "Magician" card or "Odd-Eyes" card in your other Pendulum Zone, this card's Pendulum Scale becomes 4." effect of "Stargazer Magician" is not applied. (If the Pendulum Scale of "Stargazer Magician" becomes 8 by the Pendulum Effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician", and "Dharma-Eye Magician" is destroyed, its Pendulum Scale remains 8.) During the next turn, after the effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" stops applying, the effect of "Stargazer Magician" will apply again and its Pendulum Scale becomes 4.

• When resolving the Pendulum Effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician", if "Dharma-Eye Magician" was destroyed, the effect is not applied. (The Pendulum Scale of the targeted card is not changed.)

• After the the Pendulum Scale of "Antithesis Magician" becomes 8 by the Pendulum Effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician", if "Dharma-Eye Magician" is destroyed, the Pendulum Scale of "Xiangke Magician" will remain 8 for the rest of the turn.

• If you have 2 copies of "Dharma-Eye Magician" in your Pendulum Zone, each of their Pendulum Effects can be activated once per turn. Note that the same copy of "Dharma-Eye Magician" can be targeted by each one’s effects. (In that case, the most recent "Dharma-Eye Magician" effect to resolve will be applied.)

• The "If this card was Pendulum Summoned, while this card is face-up on the field, "Magician" Pendulum Monsters you control cannot be destroyed by an opponent's card effects this turn." effect is a Continuous Effect that only applies during the turn it is Pendulum Summoned.

• This effect only applies to "Magician" Pendulum Monsters that are face-up in your Monster Zone. (Even if the effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" is applying, "Magician" Pendulum Monsters treated as Equip Cards in your Spell & Trap Zone and Pendulum Zone can be destroyed by your opponent’s card effects normally.)

• The effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" only applies to “Magician” Pendulum Monsters you control. Even if you are the owner of a "Magician" Pendulum Monster that your opponent controls due to the effect of "Creature Swap", the effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" will not be applied to it, and it can be destroyed normally.

• The monster effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" is a Continuous Effect that only applies during the turn it is Pendulum Summoned. If "Skill Drain" is applying, the effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" is negated, but if the effect of "Skill Drain" stops applying during that turn, the effect of Dharma-Eye Magician will be applied once more for the rest of the turn.

• During the turn "Dharma-Eye Magician" is Pendulum Summoned, if it is changed to face-down Defense Position, its effect will stop applying. (Even if "Dharma-Eye Magician" becomes face-up again, the effect will not be applied.)

• The monster effect of "Dharma-Eye Magician" is a Continuous Effect that only applies during the turn it is Pendulum Summoned. It is also applied to "Magician" Pendulum Monsters that are Summoned afterward during the same turn.
