- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Attaching an Equipment with its enters-the-battlefield triggered ability isn't the same as using its equip ability. You don't pay mana for the attachment, and the timing restrictions for equip abilities don't apply.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the target creature becomes an illegal target, the Equipment remains on the battlefield unattached.
No other card is named in this ruling.

Javelin of Lightning doesn't enter the battlefield attached to a creature. Instead, the Equipment enters the battlefield and then a triggered ability attaches it to a creature. You may cast Javelin of Lightning even if you don't control any creatures.
