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.

if a spell says once per game, and i use Zinan to return that spell to my hand, then i replay that spell i can use the once per game ability again due to the fact it left place and is now considered a new card correct?

Yes, per the Tracking rule, if the card is facedown and out of play (such as in your hand) it forgets that it has used its once per game ability.
