Creating Order - Force Penalty?

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 January 2013

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

I give my guy some combination of +100 Force. My opponent plays Creating Order on my dude. Is this negation of the force bonuses applying a force penalty, or simply negating the bonuses.

Eg. Can I Incense Mill my Person to gain my +100F again?

Cheers.

The negation of a bonus is not a penalty, and vice versa.
