Let Your Spirit Guide You
When you play this card as a Focus card in a duel or use its Focus value for a Tactical action performed by a Personality, set its Focus value to the Personality's Personal Honor plus 3.
A: Yes, these are examples of cards "played" when used as a Focus in a duel, because of their specific card text. In general, using a card for an effect (whether trait or action) is an instance of playing the card. Using it strictly for focus value is not. Zen Faulkes, "Do I play these to focus?", 23 Mar 2005
