Rules Q&A
- Q: Hello everybody.
Black Wind From the Soul http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=995 Limited: Bow and destroy this Shugenja, and zero or more of your other performing Shugenja, such that the performers' total Chi is 21 or greater and target a province: Destroy it. Lose 5 Honor.
Shouldn't this be "Any number of times per turn" like The Wasting Disease? http://imperialassembly.com/oracle/#cardid=8417 There are ways to return spells from the discard or keep them in play. Also, original intent.
Thank you!
A: That may be the original intent, but there may also be a reason it was chosen not to be worded that way in the Oracle. If you have a question about why a card is worded the way it is, the proper place to post those questions is in the Oracle of the Void thread, which is monitored by those who maintain it.
