Rulings
If you create a token that’s a copy of Pointy Finger of Doom, spin whatever object you’re using to represent the token. Do not use living beings to represent the token.
Once the Finger starts spinning, no permanents can be moved until after the ability completely resolves.
Pointy Finger of Doom must rotate at least 360 degrees to count. There is no penalty for failing to spin it properly other than you must try again.
Pointy Finger of Doom won’t destroy itself, even though it is very close to itself.
