Blooding by the code + mata hari

[BeAst]

There has been a previous thread on this, but I'm afraid I didn't
really understand the discussion.

Blooding by the Code
Master
Salubri antitribu
Master.
Put this card on a Salubri antitribu you control. This Salubri
antitribu gains one level of Valeren and gets +1 strength. Capacity
increases by 1: the Salubri antitribu is one generation older. A
vampire can have only one Blooding by the Code.

Mata's special says: Independent. Red List: Mata Hari has 2 votes
(titled). You and she may play cards that require a sect and/or clan
as if she were of that required sect and/or clan

---

At the moment she plays this master, it sees her as a !sal, so she can
meet the requirements, gains +1 strength, 1 capacity, and 1 level of
val.

I assume all these things instantly vanish after playing, since after
playing she is no longer (effectively) !sal?

[Vincent]

Correct.

[LSJ]

Note that it's actually a case of "never gains" rather than "gains
then instantly loses". All of the perks of Blooding by the Code come
from the card in play. The only effect of playing the card is to put
the card in play.

So you may put it on her as if she were a !Sal, but that's it. The
card in play never gives her anything, not even for an instant, since
she isn't a !Sal.
