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.

Fueling the Flames Gold Cost 0 Fire Battle, bow: Ranged 2 Attack. (Destroy a target enemy Follower, or Personality without Followers, with 2 or lower Force.) Fire Battle: Bow this Shugenja to make a Ranged 6 Attack. Destroy this Shugenja.

Ward of Air Gold Cost 0 Before this Shugenja, or any Personality if this Shugenja is Air, is destroyed by a Battle action, you may destroy this Spell to negate it. Air Battle: Move this Shugenja home.

Question: If Isawa Kamiko has attached the spells Fueling the Flames and Ward of Air. During the battle I can make a range 6 attack and destroy the spell Ward of Air in order to avoid destroy to Isawa Kamiko?, be held the ranged attack of this way, without destroy to Kamiko?

Yes. "Destroy this Shugenja" is an independent effect (no "To", no "As", no "After") so negating the destruction is OK. And Ward of Air doesn't require the Battle action to come from an enemy player, so go ahead.
