- Limited: Bow this Shugenja, destroy this card, and target your Oni Personality and your non-Oni Personality: Lose 5 Honor. Create a Shadowlands • Nonhuman Personality with Force and Chi equal to the targets' total Force and Chi, respectively. Transfer all the targets' attachments to the created Personality, even if illegal. Overlay the non-Oni onto the Oni, then overlay the created Personality onto them, permanently copying all abilities of the underlying card onto the overlaying card each time. After the created Personality is destroyed, return the Oni to play from outside the game, ignoring costs, then apply all permanent effects that were on the created card immediately before its destruction to it, except the copying of the underlying cards' abilities.

Rulings
- The phrase "Personality you control" applies to both the oni and the non-oni. [DW, 3/11/97] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 65
- The phrase "all abilities and attached cards remain" means what it says. Attachment restrictions are not checked because the cards are being retained, not re-attached. This will allow multiple weapons, spells on a non-shugenja, and so forth. [Card text, DW, email, 16 May 1997] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 65
- Neither Personality leaves play. [DW, 29 March 2002] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 65
