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.

If a personality (let's say, Daidoji Natsuki) is targeted by Victory Through Deference and has her ability removed, would she be considered a personality with no printed abilities for the remainder of that turn, and therefore a legal target for The Topaz Dojo?

She has printed abilities, but no current one.

She cannot be targeted by the Topaz Dojo, and she can't use her ability.
