Mara's Touch Gold Cost: 2

Pearl While this Shugenja is Nonhuman, he has +2F. Open: Give this Shugenja -2F: He changes shape. Give him Cavalry. Battle: Give this Shugenja -2F: Ranged 6 Attack.

Can I give a 0F personality -2F or it's an ilegal way to pay the cost of the action?

Thanks in advance!

Costs and changes: If a cost involves a change to a stat, the explicit value of the stat must change by the full stated amount, or the cost can not be paid. Minimum or maximum values can interfere with the payment of such costs.
