Crumbling Ashes:
+ This ability is mandatory, so if you are the only player who controls a
    creature with a -1/-1 counter on it, you must target one of your own
    creatures. [Eventide FAQ 2008/07/08]
+ You choose the target at the beginning of upkeep and must choose something
    that already has a -1/-1 counter on it.  This means you can't give

+ Note - Also see Hybrid Mana Symbols, Rule 104.3f.

Deity of Scars:
+ You can use the last ability and remove a counter using it even if there is
    no danger of this card being destroyed.  It does protect the creature
    against the next attempt to destroy it, but it's useful enough to just
    remove a -1/-1 counter. [Eventide FAQ 2008/07/08]
+ Since removing a -1/-1 counter is a cost of the ability, you can't play
    the ability if there are no -1/-1 counters on it.
    [Eventide FAQ 2008/07/08]
+ Since removing a -1/-1 counter effectively raises the toughness of this
    creature, it may be tough enough to survive any damage that was going
    to be dealt to it and not need to regenerate. [Eventide FAQ 2008/07/08]
