Q: Does the casting shugenja need to be in the current battle to cast [Clarity of Purpose]?
A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 7 November 2003", 8 Nov 2003
Q: Can this spell be cast if[:] Both players have units in the current battle and your caster (with the spell) is outside the current battle?

Q: I may have sent this before and it was answered, but my computer was acting strange the night I sent it. Can you use Clarity of Purpose (WoC Spell) outside of battle? I.E. have a shugenja target the current battle if I have units in it?
A: Sure. You have Presence...Relevance...everything looks good. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 13th, 2003", 13 Aug 2003
Q: Okay question, can a Ratling shugenja (or other shugenja for that matter) cast Clarity of Purpose out side of battle?
A: As long as you have Presence and Relevance in the Battle, a Shugenja can cast Clarity of Purpose, targeting any personality in the Battle. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 8th, 2003", 8 Aug 2003
