Rulings
- Does not remove the restriction that all gold generated must be spent on one thing, because that restriction is in the rulebook and Taka only removes restrictions on the holding. Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 132
- Cannot be used to enable a single Holding to generate gold twice during a single purchase. There is no "gold pool" -- generated gold must immediately be spent. [rulebook] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 63
- Cannot be used between Dynasty card purchases because Open actions are not allowed during the Dynasty Phase. [DJ, netnews, and rulebook] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 63
- Does not remove the restriction that all gold generated must be spent on one thing. That restriction is in the rulebook. Taka only removes restrictions on the holding itself. Allows Jade Works to produce 5g for anything. [DW, l5rinfo] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 63
- Erratum: Plays as written in Time of the Void: "This ability cannot be used with holdings that cannot pay for variable cost cards." Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 21
