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.
Focus Effect: You may give this card -2 focus value. If you do, after the duel ends, put this card into play if you won this duel during a battle
This seems straight forward but I wanted to verify: can I bring this into play during my limited phase?

Not through its own text, no. You must be in a duel in a battle for this card to be played.
