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.

I resolve Blessings of Isawa then have Kinuye xp cast some Kiho that normally requires bowing, say, Banish All Shadows. Because of her trait she doesn't need to bow for the initial casting, but when she gets the ability imprinted, will it continue to count as a Kiho (and she therefore won't need to bow) or is it now an ability with bowing as part of it's cost?

Rules Archive, Blessings of Isawa: "The ability keeps the keywords of the kiho, including 'Kiho.'"
