Does Svellsongur's text-copying ability give the equipment itself Deflect, and if so, does that Deflect work while the equipment is attached?

Ruling: If Svellsongur copies text that would give it Deflect, that Deflect would appear in the equipment's effect text banner. However, keywords in an equipment's effect text banner are inactive while the equipment is attached to a unit and only active while unattached.

Nuances:

• Equipment do have access to effect text banners where keywords like Deflect can appear
• The Deflect keyword on the equipment itself is separate from Deflect granted to the attached unit
