Erratum: Reads, "Immortal Steel 5G 4FV Limited: Bow this Shugenja and destroy this spell. Target weapon has all Force and Chi bonuses doubled for the rest of the game. Only one Immortal Steel can affect a weapon. If the weapon's bonuses change, refigure the doubled amount." [MRP, Obsidian Edition] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 64
Doubles bonuses due to tokens, and bonuses affecting Personalities other than the one with the weapon. [DW, 3/11/97] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 64
Erratum: Added: no weapon can be affected by more than one. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 8
Clarified: doubling is recalculated if the weapon's base bonus changes. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 8

Q: Ok, thanks Yup, sorry, I should have re-read it. I was reading a similar situation last night that revolved around the broken sword of the scorpion and Immortal Steel, didn’t stop to think about the entering play element.
A: S'okay. 🙂 Brook Cunningham, "Oracle of the Void #rules", 25 Apr 2025
