Back to 390

390.5. Delayed Linked Abilities are Linked Abilities that are generated by another Ability and reference that Ability or Game Objects it affects. Delayed Linked Abilities don't necessarily identify a specific window of time, and instead are defined by the Ability they are linked with.

390.5.a. If that Ability affects a Game Object, the Delayed Linked Ability's window will be as long as that Game Object is in an appropriate zone.
390.5.b. If the Delayed Linked Ability references the source of the abilities, its window will be as long as the source is in an appropriate zone. Refl391. Delayed Abilities will resolve or be active just like the ability they augment, but only during the specified time in the effect that created the Delayed Ability. Example: Ravenborn Tome reads "The next spell you play this turn deals 1 Bonus Damage" is a Delayed Passive Ability that passively adds 1 damage to just the next spell played. The next spell is a specific time, and the 1 Bonus Damage is a passive ability. Example: Noxian Guillotine reads "Choose a unit. Kill it the next time it takes damage this turn." When the chosen unit takes damage is the specified time, and killing it is the condition for a Delayed Triggered Ability.
