Say I play plains of resolution on Akodo Kobi, then proceed to either tactician or Pure Heart for the force pump. If my opponent plays a card such as shameful injury or a card that reduces force. Since my personality is still targeted by the plains would I go back to her force before I force pumped or would the plains still negate the reduction?

Card features, Bonuses and penalties: When a bonus, penalty, maximum, or minimum ends or is negated, the resulting stat change is not a penalty or bonus.
plains of resolution Text Singular Open: Bow this card: Your target Samurai contributes force while bowed and will not have his force reduced by other players' cards.
While I understand that negating a bonus isn't a penalty, unless I missed an eratta to PoR I don't see anything that deals with force penalties. I'm not trying to be difficult, but what is the l5r deffinition of a reduction. I searched for it in the rules wiki, but I am on my phone and it is a bit difficult to navigate.
