Questions on Buffy Board Game

[Dave]

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer board game there are 2 research cards I
don't understand. I was hoping someone could explain them to me:

1. "Spell of Evil Summoning" - the card says:

Choose an adjacent enemy. Roll your Majik dice and count Majik symbols. 2
symbols=move that enemy to any empty space adjacent to you

My question is: if it says to choose an adjacent enemy, then by definition
he is already beside you, so what good is the summoning spell?

2. "The Living Flame" - the card says:

Choose a sired vampire or Angelus. Roll your Majik dice and count Majik
symbols. 1 symbol=destroy an Artifact card in your possession, 2
symbols=destroy an Artifact card in adjacent player's possession.

My question is: Sired vampires and Angelus are controlled by the evil
player. Research cards are only used by good players. How does a good
player use this card to destroy an Artifact in his possession, when he does
not control the sired vampires?

Thanks for any help!

Errata, included in the Buffy board game FAQ at:
http://www.geocities.com/aexia/buffy-faq.html

2.4. Is there any errata to the cards?
The following two Research cards have been errataed to clear up copy problems. 
 
SPELL OF EVIL SUMMONING

Bring any enemy to you. 

Choose an enemy. Roll your Majik dice and count Majik symbols: 

[majik][majik] = Move that enemy to any empty space adjacent to you. 

Discard after use. 
 

THE LIVING FLAME

Destroy an Artifact card. 

Choose an artifact. Roll your Majik dice and count Majik symbols: 

[majik] = Destroy an Artifact card in your possession. 

[majik][majik] = Destroy an Artifact card in an adjacent player's possession. 

Discard after use. 
 
 
A future edition of the game should have the corrected versions of the cards.

Someone else has already described the corrections to the errors on
those two cards. However, if you have an early version of the game
with those errors, there is another error that might also be in your
set. Check to see if your Evil deck contains a Summon Harmony card.
If not, then an extra Summon Eclipse card was probably put in instead.
You can mark one of your Summon Eclipse cards and use it as a Summon
Harmony card. It works just like the other cards that summon evil
servants, with Harmony treated as a green pawn like Angelus (as should
be apparent from the color-coding on her pawn).

Thanks a lot!
