Hi,

Just a quick question. The card reads: "Bow your unbowed weapon to reduce a target ennemy follower's or personality's Force by the weapon's positive force modifier. You may remove one the ennemy card's abilities(...)"

The ability that I can remove, is it abolutly on the Target follower or personality or can it be another "ennemy card" in the army?

Because it does not say "remove an ability from that card..."

Thank you in advance for your time.

"the enemy card's abilities" in this case refers to the enemy follower or Personality targeted in the previous sentence. It doesn't say "that card" because "that card" would refer to your weapon mentioned after the targeted enemy follower or Personality.
