Rules Q&A
- Q: Can you retrieve any one spell or Kiho that Suru casts with Chuda Retainer?. And with Suru exp?
A: Yes, but only until the end of the turn. At the end of the turn, Suru's change to the Spell or Kiho will wear off. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 13th, 2003", 13 Aug 2003 - Q: Since the card does not say otherwise, the trait is gained for the default duration: until the end of the turn. A Chuda Retainer would need to be used in the same turn -- after that, the Spell in the discard pile no longer has the Maho trait.
Sorry to discuss this, but doesn´t say the Playing with madness that the spell or kiho "for the rest of the game gains the Maho trait"?. This way, the kiho will be maho for all the rest of the game. Or is "Kiho cast by that shugenja for the rest of the came" wich applies?
A: The exact card text is, "Any Spell or Kiho cast by that Shugenja for the rest of the game gains the Maho trait." The effect that lasts all game is the fact that casting things adds the Maho trait to them, not the trait itself. Jeff Alexander, "post for 21 February 2003", 22 Feb 2003 - Q: When a Shugenja has used Playing with Madness: Kiho Maho Limited: Bow one of your Shugenja. That Shugenja permanently gains +2F/+2C and the Shadowlands and Bloodspeaker traits, and permanently loses all current innate abilities. Any Spell or Kiho cast by that Shugenja for the rest of the game gains the Maho trait. Lose 2 Honor.
After said Mad Shugenja sasts say Walk the Way, can that player put the spell back in their hand from the decard pile using Chuda Retainer or is it so long as the Spell is in play it has the Maho trait?
A: Since the card does not say otherwise, the trait is gained for the default duration: until the end of the turn. A Chuda Retainer would need to be used in the same turn -- after that, the Spell in the discard pile no longer has the Maho trait. Jeff Alexander, "post for 20 February 2003", 21 Feb 2003
