Effect
(I am a copy of the chosen unit.)
Does Shady Spectacles copy Temporary from the chosen unit?
Shady Spectacles copies Temporary when the keyword comes from the chosen unit's card, its token definition, or a copy effect, but not when another effect granted it.
For example, copying Keeper of Masks gives the equipped unit Temporary because the keyword is printed on Keeper of Masks. If a unit has Temporary only because it received the keyword from Shadow's Call, Deceiver, or Mirror Image, Shady Spectacles does not copy it.
In rules terms, copy effects use copyable traits: a card's printed or already-copied traits, or the traits a token had when it was created. A separate keyword grant changes what the unit currently has without changing those copyable traits.
