Hi,

Just came back to Magic and I have a couple questions for those more
rules-savvy than I:

1.  Let's say I block with a Mother of Runes and then tap to give her protection from the color that she blocks.  Is this legal, and will she still deal one damage to the attacker?  And then how does the same thing work with Icatian Javelineers?

2.  Use of a Mother of Runes or any other protection-giving spell or effect:
     I give a White creature with a white enchantment on it protection from white, will this destroy the enchantment which is already on it? 

3.  Can you Animate Dead or Necromancy and Akroma, or does the Pro-Black apply even in the graveyard.  If you can Animate an Akroma will she come into play and then immediately destroy the enchantment as a result of her protection and return to the graveyard anyhow (relating to the question above). 

4.  Also Protection from a Color means that the protected creature cannot be blocked by creatures of that color at all now correct?

I appreciate the help, as I'm an old schooler just come back to Magic and some of the new changes are rough if you don't have a rules book right there in front of you.

1) Yes, yes, and yes.  In pre-6th edition rules tapped blockers dealt no damage, but now they do.

2) The enchantment will "fall off", basically meaning it's destroyed.  The only exception to this is if the enchantment says otherwise, such as [card]White Ward[/card].

3) Protection doesn't work while cards are anywhere but in play.  You can bring back the Akroma, but then the enchantment will fall off and she will go back in the graveyard.

4) Correct
