I'm using L5R 4th Portuguese version (Brazilian). A player is using the Chosen by the Oracles ( You gain a bonus of +1k1 to the total of all Ring Rolls using that Ring. ) advantage to increase the damage of the The Fires from within (The spell has a DR equal to your Fire Ring) spell. He has Fire 4, so there's 5k5 damage. Is that valid?

Thanks a lot!

Short answer; No.

The Spell tells you that it has a Damage Rating (DR) equal to your Fire Ring, meaning that you are making a Damage Roll for the spell, not a Ring Roll.

Check P.80 (or under the Types of Rolls section of the book if the Portuguese version has different formatting) and you will find that Damage Rolls and Ring Rolls are treated differently by the game.

Unfortunately there aren't many effects that require Fire Ring rolls to make use of the bonus from Chosen by the Oracles but the bigger part of that advantage should be the implications of being favoured by an agent of the celestial dragons.
