OCG Rulings
If you have three copies of "Phantom of Chaos", and one of each is copying "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", "Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder", and "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms", then you can remove from play the three copies of "Phantom of Chaos" as Fusion Material Monsters to Special Summon "Armityle the Chaos Phantasm
You can Tribute face-down Fiends to Special Summon "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms".
Tributing 1 monster is a cost to activate this card's Ignition Effect. You cannot Tribute this card for its own effect.
Summoning a "Phantasm Token" is a Trigger Effect that activates when the opponent Normal Summons a monster. The activation of this effect can be chained to.
If "Skill Drain" is activated, any "Phantasm Tokens" on the field still cannot attack. (Also, while "Skill Drain" is active, "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" will not generate any more "Phantasm Tokens".)
A "Phantasm Token" cannot be forced to attack with a card effect like "Dark Spirit of the Silent" or "Amazoness Archers".
If your opponent Normal Summons a monster in a chain using "Ultimate Offering", resolve all effects in that chain, then activate the effect of "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" to start a new chain. If the Normal Summon for "Ultimate Offering" was Chain Link 2 or higher, you still activate the effect of "Raviel". It does not miss the timing.
If all of your Monster Card Zones are full, this card's effect will activate, but if there are no available spaces when the effect resolves, the effect is not applied.
If an effect is chained to turn "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms" face-down, or remove it from the field, the "Phantasm Token" will still be Special Summoned when the effect resolves.
