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.

I think this is the same situation as Misdirection. But I am not certain, because the rules on variable cost cards could stand to be a bit more fleshed out.
http://rules.l5r.com/Timing: "Effects that alter a player’s choice, such as targeting or assignment, are written as 'when (the player) would.' The timing of such a 'when... would' effect occurs after the player indicates his or her initial choice, but before the targeting (or other outcome of the choice) actually happens." (Emphasis added.)
I don't think the cost of Ruthless Advance is set until targeting actually occurs, so the rule that you can abandon an action whose cost changes doesn't apply.
But this ruling has to be tentative for now.
