If I play Creating Order on a personality to negate current and future force bonusses and penalties on him and then play A Pure Stroke on one of his weapons, does the bonus from the action apply to him ?

Eventhough the bonus isn't directly given to him, it's still a bonus "from an action" that applies to him so I'm wondering how I should treat this case.

As you point out, the bonus from A Pure Stroke does not apply directly to the Personality, so Creating Order does not affect it.
