Does "once per game" mean that I can use that action one time that game no matter the number of copies of the card I have in play or does it mean that I can use that action once per game per card that i have, ie I can use each individual copy of Katana of Fire's action once per game? Thanks.

Katana of Fire XP Limited: Once per game: Create a +3F/+1C Fire • Weapon Item with the ability, "Battle: Bow this card unless this Personality is Fire, and target an enemy card without attachments: Destroy it" and attach it to one of your Personalities.

Once per game in this case applies to each Katana of Fire, so you could conceivably have 3 copies and use it 3 times.
