Rulings
- You can use "any number" of shugenja in the ritual, including zero. This produces a 0F/0C oni that immediately dies unless some continual effect boosts its Chi (e.g., The Spawning Grounds). [DW, November 1999] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 118
- The Kitsu Tombs' Reaction can waive the cost (i.e., bowing and destroying shugenja) of bringing Oni no Chi into play, but this also waives the "coming into play" effect determining the oni's stats (i.e., the number of shugenja destroyed). The result is a 0F/0C oni. [ZF, November 1999] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 118
- You can use "any number" of shugenja in the ritual [card text], including zero. This produces a 0F/0C oni which will immediately die unless some continual effect is in operation which boosts its Chi (for example, the +1/+1 from The Spawning Grounds).
