Can I use Stay your Blade on a personality who has been targeted by Test of Courage? I believe I can because the word target is not used as a cost, but I could be wrong.

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.

Test of Courage says, "You can not target the Personality with actions or bow him to pay costs."
That's two things you can not do:
1. target the Personality with actions
2. bow him to pay costs
Stay Your Blade does the first one.
So, no, a Personality targeted by A Test of Courage could not later that same turn be targeted by Stay Your Blade.
