If variant Saruman forces a new Fellowship card after Sauron plays Magic, does the Magic still resolve?
The rulebook's Saruman text gives the forced swap, but the rulebook does not address the Magic afterwards, and posters disagree.

Probably yes. Saruman's ability resolves first, so the Fellowship must play a different card, and then Sauron's Magic card resolves. This comes from an answer reported as coming from FFG in a forum post, and another poster argues the Magic never takes effect, so it is not settled in the rulebook.
