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.
A player, 9 April 2010
i couldn't find anything in the forum about this. 2 phoenix players are facing each other and one player's shiba's guidance comes into play. does the trait on the guidance also count for the other phoenix player's personalities?
Shiba's Guidance Kami-Unique
Phoenix Clan Personalities have +1F while their controller controls any shugenja.
Battle/Open: If you are a Phoenix Clan player, discard this card: Bring your target honorably dead Phoenix Clan Personality into play in your home or at the current battlefield, ignoring costs.

The trait does not refer to "your" Phoenix Clan personalities, so both players would get the bonus.
Similar reasoning applies to Hida's Guidance and Akodo's Guidance!
