If I steal an equipment with Akshan and attach it to him, can I use Lucian's Weapon Master to move it to Lucian for free? Can my opponent pay to equip it back to their unit?
Ruling: When you control stolen equipment (attached to Akshan), you can use it as if you played it, including using Lucian's Weapon Master to move it for free. Your opponent cannot use its abilities while you control it.
Sequence:
- While Akshan is in play, you control the stolen equipment
- You can use Lucian's Weapon Master to attach it to Lucian for free
- The equipment remains on Lucian even after Akshan leaves play
- Once Akshan leaves play, control returns to the opponent
- After control returns, the opponent can use their attach effects (like Weapon Master) to take it back
Nuances:
- The equipment doesn't immediately return when Akshan leaves play; it stays on Lucian until the opponent actively moves it or Lucian leaves play
- Your opponent cannot pay equip costs or use abilities on the equipment while you control it (while Akshan is in play)
