Rules Q&A

• Q: Opponent uses Kyuden Wasuremono Battle action and reduces chi of one of my personalities to 0. Kyuden Wasuremono: Battle : Bow one of your target Samurai or Ninja Personalities: Give a target Personality opposing him Force and Chi penalties equal to one less than your Personality's Chi.
  1) Is my personality destroyed by stronghold or personality he bows to pay the cost of the action or both? 1A) If stronghold - is stronghold considered as a card here? 2) Is my personality destroyed by a Battle action?
  Thx Ps. Simple Yes/No anwers are welcome ;]
  A: http://rules.l5r.com/Effects#Source_of_effects: "A Personality’s destruction for having 0 Chi comes from the effect that last gave the Personality a Chi penalty, or from the rulebook if there was no such effect."
  http://rules.l5r.com/Card_types#Using_Strongholds: "A Reaction trigger states 'After an effect from another player's card targets one of your cards:' This can be used in reaction to another player's Stronghold effect because the Stronghold's effects come from a card."
