Rules Q&A

• Q: mlund wrote:
  So, basically, your question is in regards to giving a Bonus to an attached card that gives a bonus to the Personality? It works pretty simply.
  If a +2F attachments gains a 2F bonus, it is a +4F attachment and confers +4F on its Personality rather than +2F.
  If an attachment does not give its Personality a bonus (most Followers and Spells), then giving the card a Force Bonus will not cause it to start giving the Personality a Force Bonus. In the case of Bleak Portents, the card doesn't even have a Force stat, so you have to use the rules on page 63 in italics (effects trying to change the stat fail to affect it).
  So your Mage is 3F +1 (Spawning Grounds) +4 (Suchiro no Oni) +2 (Portents) for a total of 10F.

  Ok so looking at 63 says cards that normally dont particular traits or stats will cause effects to fail. However, Inazuma Blade does confer a force and chi bonus. Is this possible ONLY because its also considered an item?
  Thanks,
  A: It is possible because the card is printed with "+3" in the spot where a card's Force goes and "+3" in the spot when a card's Chi goes. Martin Lund, "Clarification of bleak portents question", 23 Mar 2005
