Shiba Ningen (exp3) and Enticement

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.

A player, 28 March 2010

If I use Enticement to take control of another player's Shiba Ningen (Experienced 3) during my turn, and then I use his ability to create a personality using the ability:

Limited: Gain 2 Honor. Create a 2F/2C/2PH Phoenix Clan • Samurai • Yojimbo Personality. You may not use this ability again while the created Yojimbo remains in play.

Let's assume the personality I created is not destroyed, can the owner of the card use the ability again after he regains control of Ningen?

If I use Enticement to take control of another player's Shiba Ningen (Experienced 3) during my turn, and then I use his ability to create a personality... (if) the personality I created is not destroyed, can the owner of the card use the ability again after he regains control of Ningen?

Yes.

A new player is not using the ability "again". Also, references to "you" checks who initiated that particular action. Precedent: Isawa Fosuta (Experienced):
