- The Naga's blade tore through Hakuseki's robes, her flesh, her bones. As she fell, she knew she was dying. She felt no regret, for she had lived with honor.

Rules Q&A
- Q: Hi there,
Very sorry if this has been asked before in some other form, but I couldn't find it so here goes: I have a personality with Ominous Armor. Said personality is challenged to a lethal duel (for example A Magistrate Falls). I focus Kharmic Strike. Is the Ominous Armor destroyed to save my guy and the challenger destroyed (due to the Kharmic Strike)? Or is my Kharmic Strike responsible for the destruction, mooting my Armor?
I am pretty sure my Ominous Armor would save my personality in this situation, but a discussion has emerged and it needs your quelling!
Thank you.
A: The destruction comes from the card that created the duel; it says right on A Magistrate Falls to destroy the loser. Just because Kharmic Strike made both Personalities lose doesn't mean the source of the effect is somehow "transferred". So, what I'm obviously try to say is, yes you are correct; in your described scenario, your Ominous Armor would get destroyed instead of your Personality.
