I do not believe that you can interrupt magic charms unless the evil character was in battle.

So you can't do that to Writ if it's trying to capture you either, right?

Also charms is no longer in play for Joseph before Pharaoh to target it.

I think you do have initiative, there's just no way to interrupt/negate Writ/Charms/GiC (once they've been used) if they're not in battle.

I don't understand. If you have initiative, why can't you negate your removal?
