Rules Q&A
- Q: [ShE] Does The Akasha count toward Enlightenment victories? And if so, how?
A: No. The Akasha doesn't because it has no element keyword, and Path of Violence because it has a specific trait saying it doesn't. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 21 Feb 2026 - Q: ShE: Higaru's "open" action is also apparently "void" because he has the void icon. But what if I copy his ability to Hikuryo using The Akasha exp? Is it then just an "open" ability or does this also copy the void keyword to Hikuryo's new ability? Would this mean that Hikuryo cannot use his new ability on a personality who has Ketsuen attached if the void icon is also copied?
A: In ShE Rules, abilities inherit all keywords of the card they are on. A copy of any such ability would also have all its keywords. So, no, some wearing Ketsuen could not be targeted by even a copy of Higaru's ability. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 27 Aug 2025
