Disguised/Concealed Weapon: You can DI the card itself (in
which case the weapon is not played), or you can DI the
weapon. [LSJ 04-MAY-1999]
That ruling parallels nicely to Charming Lobby: you can DI
either the Lobby or the vote card (if any). In either case, the
action "fizzles" and the acting vampire is untapped.
For Magic of the Smith, the parallel is less clear, but I'd say
that it works the same way as Disguised Weapon.

Yes, similar to the ruling on Sudden Reversal vs. Bindusara's
ability.
This DI stuff is starting to look a little messy (when to untap,
when to intervene, etc.), so I'll put it on the RT list for review.
