I'm thinking a dagger that has it's grip replaced is fine, but the blade breaks, then it's lost. Or a silk robe with a few moth holes, or tears is ok, but cut seriously or burned, then the chi is gone.
I don't recall seeing a method of filling an object with Chi permanently, but I would reckon that the Chi disperses when the object is destroyed (reduced to Zero S.D.C.), and would retain all Chi until then.
the Kime Kata is a special kata, and doesn't seem to specify that it can only be used in hand-to-hand combat or melee weapons. would you allow it to be used with a firearm?
It can be used with any Strike, Damage or Parry roll, regardless of whether it is made with a bare hand or a weapon.
