Answer

Ruling: You cannot use the Gear's own Equip ability to reattach it (because attached Gear has inactive rules text), but you can reattach it using other effects that move equipment, such as Weaponmaster or Jax's legend ability.

Sequence:

  • When a unit is possessed, you still control any equipment attached to it
  • The Gear's rules text is inactive while attached, so its Equip ability cannot be activated
  • You can use external effects (like Weaponmaster or Jax) to move the equipment to another unit you control

Nuances:

  • You still control the equipment even though the unit is possessed
  • The distinction is between using the Gear's own Equip ability (not allowed) versus using other card effects that reattach equipment (allowed)
