The monster effect "Each time your opponent draws a card(s), place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max. 5)" is a Continuous Effect. (Even if your opponent draws during the Damage Step, apply the effect to place a Spell Counter on this card.): Silent Magician LV4

Even if your opponent draws multiple cards due to the effect of "Pot of Greed", etc., the number of Spell Counters placed is 1.

The monster effect "This card gains 500 ATK for each Spell Counter on it." is a Continuous Effect. (If the number of Spell Counters placed on this card changes, its stat also increases immediately.)

The monster effect "During the Standby Phase of your next turn after the 5th Spell Counter is placed on this card: You can send this face-up card with 5 Spell Counters on it to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Silent Magician LV8" from your hand or Deck." is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. Sending the "Silent Magician LV4" with 5 Spell Counters on it to the Graveyard is a cost to activate this effect.)

The effect of "Silent Magician LV4" that Special Summons "Silent Magician LV8" can only be activated after its controller has placed the fifth Spell Counter on it. Therefore, if you activate "Dark World Dealings" so that your opponent draws a card and you place the fifth Spell Counter on your "Silent Magician LV4", but during my opponent's next Standby Phase they activate "Enemy Controller" and take control of "Silent Magician LV4", your opponent cannot activate the effect of "Silent Magician LV4" after they take control of it. When the effect of "Enemy Controller" stops applying and you regain control of "Silent Magician LV4", you can activate the effect of "Silent Magician LV4" during your next Standby Phase.: "Silent Magician LV4" has 5 Spell Counters, but if control is transferred to my opponent before my next turn's Standby Phase, how does its effect resolve?
