A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

So I was looking through some old cards of mine and looking through their updates and I found Lixue, her text follows:
Your other Baraunghar Personalities have +2F. Equipping Spells is an Open action for you. Battle: Target any number of your Unicorn Clan Personalities. If there are any enemy units at the current battlefield, move the targets there. You may take an additional Battle action from a Spell you control. This action has Absent and Remote if it targets Lixue.
The important part is bolded.
Remote is: a) An old experimental form of Home? b) Not-yet used keyword? c) Just a 'coming up with new text for 400 cards in a few hours and it's already late in the night, no coffee can keep me up anymore' kind of error?

With Ivory Edition dropping the implicit exceptions to Presence and Location in favor of explicit ones in the form of keywords, the need/opportunity arose to create a custom such keyword for Legacy cards, because the Ivory suite of such keywords do not allow for actions to be taken from lateral battlefields, but several such actions exist prior to Ivory.
