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.

Limited: Put this card into play in your home. Discard any other Kata cards you control. While this card is in play, you have the ability, "Spirit Limited: Discard a card: Create a +2F Spirit • Weapon Item and attach it to your target Personality."

Is this card in play until the end of the turn? Does that mean that i can only use it's granted Limited action once?

Like dishonor or bowing or destruction, putting a card into play is an instant effect and therefore has no duration. Once it's in play, it stays there.

Because it's instant and has no duration, the default "until the turn ends" duration for effects does not apply.
