The Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion + School of Wizardry

L5R CCG Rules board, 21 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.

Couldn't find an answer to this, so I could use some clarification.

Can School of Wizardry be named by the Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion? Or is that a trait on School of Wizardry that allows you to pay 0 for a Human Shugenja by bowing it? I ask since the rules text on School of Wizardry does not state that it is a Dynasty Action/Ability. Thank you.

School of Wizardry 7G : When paying for a Human Shugenja, he enters play for 0 Gold.

Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion 7 PS 4 GP 1 FH Tireless Open: Name a Fate card, or name a Dynasty card in play. Negate the effects of the next action from a card with that title.

That's right; it's a trait, not an ability/action, so The Shadowed Estate could do nothing to negate it.
