Based on your explanation of the card Again!, would it be safe to assume that the ability copied by Inspired leadership not also work noting that it also took the tag from A New alliance. After all, "his weapons" on your explanation is still like "the abilities on two target fate/dynasty cards cannot be used" pertaining directly to the abilities on the card, and not the card itself.
Inspired Leadership Invest , or if the first target is a Tactician: Take an additional action (after this one resolves). Battle: Target your Personality and another Personality. Give your Personality +1F and he copies an ability on the second target which does not copy abilities.
A New Alliance A New Alliance Invest : Draw a card. (Increase the Gold Cost by the Invest cost to get the effect, once.) Political Open: The abilities on two target Dynasty or Fate cards (in play) cannot be used.
(if im not perfectly clear, I mean to say ask that would the abilities now also inherit the "cannot be used this turn" tag given by the A new alliance despite the fact they gain these said abilities. In short, would the "cannot be used this turn" tag on them be carried over to any card that copies them during the turn its played.
Im curious since we had that particular situation today.
PS: I do think there is something definitely hard to grasp on the working of the card Again!. It does say his weapons, and it does seem to pertain to the personality and not to the weapons themselves.

A New Alliance does not add a "this ability may not be used" sentence to the end of the ability it affects. If you copy the ability, the new ability (which is new, otherwise Once Per Turn would apply to it) will not be stopped by A New Alliance.
