Interrupt the Void's Flow negation question

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 June 2015 to 1 September 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.

Interrupt the Void's Flow says: Void Interrupt: Negate a Battle action....

CR says NEGATE AN ACTION # To prevent all the action’s effects and targeting, from the time the negation is applied.

Since the targeting would be prevented. Would actions from Knife in the Darkness and Desperate Sacrifice simply fail and/or will not move any personality since there were no targets of the action?

Is there any answer for this question?

The definition of Negate an action has changed: To prevent all the action’s effects, from the time the negation is applied. This does not negate targeting.

Interrupt the Void's Flow will not negate the movement from Knife in the Darkness.
