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, 16 June 2011

If the Shugenja you are attaching this spell is dishonored, will he be rehonored? I'm thinking not since he's not performing anything that creates an honor gain, but I may be wrong...

Words of Consecration Air After this card enters play, if this Shugenja is Air: Choose a player, who gains or looses 1 Honor. Open: Bow this Shungenja and target another player's Personality: After the next time (this turn) he assigns to attack you, gain 1 Honor, or 2 Honor if you control a Temple.

He will be rehonoured and his controller will not gain honour.

See Physically marked card states, Honorable and dishonorable: Before a player gains Honor from attaching a card to one of his or her dishonorable Personalities, the Personality is rehonored and the player does not gain the Honor.
