Discovering Lost Lore & Spell Retrieval

L5R CCG Rules board, 1 October 2009

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.

Is the "target Personality" in the effects clause of Discovering lost lore the same as your Target Artisan? In other words, in order to bring a spell from the graveyard, do you have to have an Artisan Shugenja?

Discovering Lost Lore Limited: Target your Artisan: Target a Spell or Item in your discard pile. Attach it to your target Personality. Gain 1 Honor.

As Always thanks for the help!

Different targeting, although theoretically you could attach the item or the spell to the artisan if you so desired (as long as it was legal).
