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.

http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_S#Successful (Emphasis mine):
"A successful action or other occurrence is one whose effects produced one or more actual changes in the game state...
