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.
What exactly does Ascendance copy when you play it? It says fear effect that is a copy of a fear effect in your army, so does it pick up qualities like targeting through followers a la Tested Blade?
If so, what would happen if you tried to copy Oneiyara's fear? Would you end up with a fear equal to his force that can only target the loser, and as such not be able to target anything with it? Or does something else entirely happen?

Ascendence would copy all effects and restrictions of the Fear. So copying Tested Blade would produce Fear equal to the Personality's chi that goes through followers, and copying Oneiyara would produce a Fear effect that could only target the duel's loser - and Ascendance doesn't produce a duel, so there would be no legal targets.
