Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Mantle of the Jade Champion +2F/+3C 8G 4FV Unique. Only a Shugenja can attach the Mantle of the Jade Champion. The Jade Champion attaches the the Mantle of the Jade Champion without Gold cost. Lower the Gold cost of each Spell for this Personality by half of the Spell's Gold cost, rounded down."

Rules Q&A
- Q: What happens to a spell attached to a Shugenja that gets affected by Retirement? Does it get destroyed when the Shugenja loses that trait or does that not matter?
Likewise, what about items that state "You may only attach this to a Shugenja/Samurai"? i.e. Mantle of the Jade Champion...
A: General rule: once attached, cards do not get destroyed if their original attachment restrictions stop being met. In the case of Spells, losing the Shugenja trait will prevent the Personality from casting them, though. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 October 2001", 30 Oct 2001
