Hey,

How can someone lose an ability yet still be considered to have an ability without his ability being negated?

"Lose" is one of those words we use because it's easy to understand and not because it's technically exactly what happens. Technically the ability on the converted character remains but doesn't activate when that character enters battle.

I realized my original question can work in reverse as well...

So, if I convert an EC with an ability that harms another hero.... I would not be allowed to use Windows of Narrow Light or Passover Preparations on him?

Okay, I understand the way it works. I was just being stubborn.

I do think it would be easier to just treat it as "losing" a character's ability, because it's simpler, but I don't have a problem with it either way.

Correct.

Additionally, if a character like Lot's Wife is converted, it would be ignored by Household Idols and/or discarded by Torn Mantle because it is a good card with a banding ability despite the fact that it can never use it's banding ability while it's a good card.

Actually this is quite easy to understand, especially since it is like our government:

Tax man: "Do you own this property?"
You: "Yes, but I can't use it because it's disappeared into a sink hole!"
Tax man: "Doesn't matter. Here's your bill for your property taxes."

There are very few cards in the game that can even do what we're talking about. There are even less times that it will actually matter. If this is enough to make you mad then I'll suggest you take a step back and look at what's really important in life. This isn't it.

But while we're discussing things that don't really matter... shall we talk about wookies?

This answer could solve sooooooo many ruling questions

Pffft, that quote wouldn't stop me from arguing.

I'll argue until every last extremely hypothetical situation that might be broken is argued about!

So true.
