Rules Q&A
- Q: Here is Groves of Stone's text: Battle: Even if this unit is not at the current battlefield, bow this Shugenja unless he is Earth: Give the current battlefield's province +4 or -4 strength.
If this is attached to an Earth shugenja who is bowed, can you still use the ability?
Thanks for your time!
A: Yes, you can.
The cost is waived and does not require an unbowed Shugenja. Dan Jacobson, "Groves of Stone", 14 Apr 2010
