I target a face-down Ninjutsu Personality with Kolat duplicate. Do all face-down Ninjutsu Personalities now have a gold cost of 0?
Thanks!

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.
Target a personality in play. All cards in the Personality's unit are shuffled back into their owner's decks. All versions of that Personality have their Gold cost reduced to 0 for the rest of the game. Honor is not gained when these personalities enter play.
Ninjutsu: Face down Ninjutsu Personalities do not have titles. Face down Ninjutsu Personalities are not considered copies of the same card. So, when you target a face-down Ninjutsu Personality with Kolat Duplicate, you're targeting a card with no title and no copies, so there are no other "versions of that Personality"; when the target Personality is shuffled back into the deck it "forgets" that it was the one targeted by Kolat Duplicate.
Thus, if Kolat Duplicate targets a face-down Ninjutsu Personality, it creates no ongoing effects.
