• If "Tower of Babel" has five or more Spell Counters when finishing resolving, then the player who activated the Spell Card which placed the fourth Spell Counter will be the one who receives the damage.
  • Example: "Tower of Babel" has three Spell Counters. Your opponent activates a Spell Card, and you chain with a Quick-Play Spell Card. Your Spell Card will resolve first and place the fourth Spell Counter, so after your opponent's Spell Card resolves, the effect of "Tower of Babel" will activate and inflict 3000 damage to you.

• You can activate a Spell or Trap Card as Chain Link 1 and then activate the effect of "[[:]]" in Chain to the card by sending the activated card to the Graveyard. If the activated card was a Normal Spell Card or a Normal Trap Card, then the effect of the card will resolve properly. If the activated card was an Equip, Continuous, or Field Spell Card or a Continuous Trap Card, then the other card is not on the field when resolving its effect, so the effect of the other card is not applied.
