Ferox ADV and Diversion

Hello again guys,

An anarch opposing Ferox ADV can play Diversion?

Diversion
Library
Requires a ready anarch.
Gain one additional strike.
Prevent up to 2 damage.
Strike: ranged. Steal 1 blood with an optional maneuver.


Ferox, The Rock Lord
Crypt
Advanced, Independent: Minions opposing Ferox in combat cannot play cards that require Necromancy or Thaumaturgy . He cannot commit diablerie. Flight .
Ferox gets +1 intercept when attempting to block actions.

I would say that an anarch cannot use diversion for the :tha effect, but could for the others. The anarch multi cards are weird. I mean diversion can be used as a thaumuturgy card, but it can also be used as other disciplines. I cannot quote a rules reference to support this.

Only the Thaumaturgy level is prohibited.

Correct.

Thank you.

Please note I recommend copy-pasting cardtexts from the cardlist to avoid issues such as the one in the original message (lack of discipline symbols, for instance)
