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.

Sorry for such simple question, but we play Lotus ed. often in Novosibirsk, Russia
Can bowed shugenja casts spell that don't require to bow shugenja (f.e. Earth becomes sky) in LOTUS rules? I read in rules and this forum, in SE, yes. And in LE?
Thanks.

Lotus rules, pg. 39: "While bowed, a card or Stronghold is less capable of performing actions and contributing towards battles:
"• Abilities on a bowed card or Stronghold cannot be used unless their costs or effects will straighten that card or Stronghold.
"• A bowed Personality may not assign to battlefields. (An unbowed Personality with bowed cards attached to him may assign, provided nothing else stops him.)
"• A bowed Personality may not perform an action that will make him issue a challenge as one of its known effects."
So generally, yes.
