So can you use her to convert your own EC's?
Just curious but what happens if the target is protected from conversion? I'd assume you still take the character you just don't convert him/her.

No, EC in your control cannot be targets.

Quote from: The REG > Take > Default Conditions
Cards may only be taken from another player.

The target of the ability is an EC you can take.  Since the first part must target an opponent's character, you cannot just convert one of your own.

To answer your second question the convert targets the character of the take, but the take is not contingent on the conversion, so you could take a card protected from conversion and it would just remain its current brigade(s).

But what if the protection is only contingent on the character being your opponents, i.e. Magic Charms (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Charms_(TP))? Does the conversion happen once the character is taken into your territory?

Love this question.  Magic Charms only protects "your" magicians from conversion.  By the time the convert is trying to activate, the conversion is off (because the condition is not true), so it works.

Fixed that for you.  It was confusing me until I realized what you were trying to say  :D
