     It isn't.  The source of the loss or gain remains unchanged.

     No.  The true source is still winning the duel.

     This has been brought up before, and I agree it does bear
some investigation, though I foresee less than a 50% chance of
a reversal.

>Can the Cultist follower assist in a Shugenja ritual

     Yes.  All Shugenja Followers may bow to assist rituals.
(Minor Shugenja have the added benefit of being able to do so
with more of a Chi bonus.)

     If it's not a Ritual KIHO, then the answer is clearly "no".
Otherwise, yes, according to the HB rulebook p. 62.  Every
shugenja is "performing" a Ritual, though only the primary one
is "casting" it.
