I am curious why Wasserschloss Anif, Austria was errata'd to say that
only one Tremere may move a blood during your master phase? I have
looked at the archives and could not find anything other than LSJ's
response to questions about Wasserschloss Anif, Austria but no reasoning
as to why the errata was nessasary in the first place. How is it
different from the Assamite card Heartblood of the clan? Heartblood
requires an action and cost one pool, where as Wasserschloss Anif,
Austria doesn't require an action, costs 2 pool and is transient from a
built in mechansm. They seem to be fairly balanced in effect. So why
is there errata on Wasserschloss Anif, Austria but not Heartblood of the
Clan? I am sure no one meant to wallpaper the card, but it seems to me
that is exactly what the errata did.

It's not errata - it's a function of card text and the ruling regarding
the meaning of the template "during phase X, {you may} do Y".

During your master phase, you may move 1 blood from any Tremere you control
to this card.

Since you can do that only once (by the template), only one Tremere will
end up being involved. See the use of that template on some Powerbases
for an example of why it is ruled to mean once per phase.

Heartblood doesn't say "During your minion phase, you may move 1 blood..."
Note: you can only move one blood per action to the Heartblood.

There's no errata on Wasserschloss.
