Question about Invest

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 April 2015 to 17 April 2015

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.

If an Invested card entered play which granted a permanent ability (an example here is Isawa Orinoko's Fear 5) then dies and gets rebought (Phoenix Stronghold) If the card gets reinvested (paying a whopping 25 gold) would it then have 2 Fear 5's or would they count as the same ability and thus be restricted by the Once Per Turn rule?

They would be two distinct Fear 5 abilities, and you could use both on the same turn.
