- Q: Can I use Sympathetic Energies or Dance of the Elements to move Togashi Mitsu's +1F/+1C fire tokens onto any other Personality, or only onto another Mitsu? The spell says the new recipient has to be legal, and only Mitsu creates fire tokens. A: Here's the deal. Unless there is specific text to the contrary somewhere, any token may be placed on any Personality. Even if the token's original source couldn't generate the token on the card you're trying to move it to, if nothing forbids the possession of such a token, it's legal to move it. Example: Shosuro Hametsu can "give a Personality a Poison token if they do not have one". But nothing prohibits having more than one poison token, so you can place poison tokens on several different people and then move them all onto one. On the other hand, Akodo Kage says "No Personality may have more than 2 Sensei Tokens", so you can't do this trick with him. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.6.2, May 1998, p. 19
