Official rulings

  1. Responding to a creature's activated ability being activated by moving Detainment Spell onto that creature won't affect the ability that was just activated. (2006-09-25)
  2. Detainment Spell prevents mana abilities of the enchanted creature from being activated. (2006-09-25)
  3. Morph isn't an activated ability, so Detainment Spell doesn't prevent face-down creatures from being able to turn face up. (2006-09-25)
