Just curious about the wording on Shugenja Aide:
Shugenja Aide: "This Personality, if he is a Shugenja, has +1C while actions on your Kihos and Spells are resolving."
>> Would Stones of Purity be affected by this at all? Or is the trait not considered an action?
Stones of Purity: "After you Equip this Spell, give this Shugenja a number of +1F Rock tokens equal to his Chi."
I know this was answered in regards to Enomoto earlier, but Shugenja Aide has slightly different wording. Thanks in advance!

Traits are not abilities: the +1C from Shugenja Aide's trait does not apply when Equiping Stones of Purity.
