Playable on a non-Wizard character moving with at least two Wildernesses [w] in his site path if you discard any Undead hazard creature from your hand (show opponent). Target character makes a roll (draws a #) and adds his mind. If the result is less than 13, that character splits off into a different company. This new company immediately returns to his original company's site of origin.
Underlines and bolds mine.

Well, there's another blow to the active RW strategy.

I would play it as non-wizard = non-ringwraith, but I dont know if thats right.

This card is designed to be played against characters with a mind stat; Ringwraiths, like Wizards, would be exempt.

Fealty Under Trial wrote:Playable on a minion in a Darkhaven [V] or Barad-dûr. Make a roll (draw a #) adding the marshalling points (as though they were stored) and corruption points of all items and events played with target minion. All items and storable events played with target minion are then automatically stored (no corruption checks are made). Then, if the result was greater than 15, discard the minion (and all other cards played with him).
What if no marshaling points or no corruption points in cards played on minion? This card cannot be played on minion in such case?

Another example:
Stay Her Appetite wrote:Playable on an ally. Make a roll (draw a #). If the result plus the ally's mind is greater than your opponent's general unused influence plus its controlling character's unused direct influence plus 2, the ally attacks its controlling character (detainment attack against a hero). This attack has 1 strike and prowess equal to the ally's normal prowess plus a dice roll (drawn #). Discard the ally if it attacks and is not defeated.

That card was made before LE was around, therefore, there's no way it could account for minion avatars. No avatar has a mind value and all cards like that and developed subsequent to LE properly cover this, e.g. Heedless Revelry.
