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. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

When Gaining Advantage resolves, can you search for Spirit of Truth?
And I guess the underlying question there is: When Gaining Advantage says "with a political" does that mean an ability of that card itself, or just a political ability appearing somewhere on the card?

Only keywords placed before the Ability designator, or on the card itself would count. Keywords inside abilities' texts are only part of the ability's text, so are abilities "within" other abilities (or more accurately, as part of another ability's effects). There's no rule basis for the opposite.
