Does Doomed Intentions get around 1x/turn use of abilities?

L5R CCG Rules board, 19 January 2008 to 20 January 2008

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.

Yoshino is defending at a province with another personality... say Yufu. I use Yoshino's ability killing an opponent's personality, and then destroying one of his attachments on another personality. He uses Refugees or some other way to send Yoshino home... I allow that to happen. I then drop Doomed Intentions and move Yoshino back in and straighten him... as the latter portion of DI states, can I then use his ability a second time killing another personality without an attachment and blow up another attachment?

No, you cannot use Doomed Intentions to use an ability more than the normal number of times.
