A player, 9 August 2007

If a spider clan player with Ruined city, have 4 different personality in a battle and he uses the ability given by the ruined city with each of the 4 different personalities. Could he played the ring of water having played fourth battle action from different titles or is he still considered of having one such action (all of them coming from the same card: ruined city)?

ruined city: Your Spider Clan Personalities have the ability, "Battle: Bow a target unit with zero total Force or with the lowest non-zero total Force (including ties) among all units at the current battlefield."

ring of water: After you successfully resolve your fourth or later Battle action from cards with different titles in one battle: you may put this card into play from your hand.

Yes. Comprehensive Rules, Source of Effects: "Effects of traits and abilities given to other cards, copied from other cards, or on created cards, come from the card they are currently on."
