Rulings
- Its ranged attack is an ability of the Shuriken and not the Personality. [Card text] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 55
- Its attack can be combined with one from the Personality and/or with other Shuriken. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 55
- Having a Shuriken will not let a Personality use (e.g.) Jade Arrow or The Arrow Knows the Way. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 55
- For this reason: The attack produced by the Shuriken can be combined with one which the Personality itself generates and/or with other Shuriken. Carrying a Shuriken will not enable a Personality to use a Crystal or Jade Arrow, or The Arrow Knows the Way. See also Bowing and Straightening. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 55
- Clarified: The Shuriken, not the Personality, produces the attack. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 7
- Erratum: Changed: you must now bow and destroy the Shuriken, not just destroy it. (Note, though, that even prior to this you couldn't use it while bowed.) Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 7
