Discussion about the V5 rulebook on the Finnish whatsapp led me to discover about 20 cards that have wrong templating or wrong card text altogether, depending how you interpret it. Approximation of loyalty Bleeding the vine Contingency planning Detect authority Disengage Evil eye Fae contortion False resonance Hall of Hades' court Jones, The Khalu Lucita (adv) Not to be Rewind time Scry the hearthstone Shape mastery Soul decoration Terra incognita Tranquility Veil of Darkness All of these cards have the text (no cost is paid) in brackets. Text in brackets is supposed to be reminder text, but in this case it can't be since the text is in contradiction of the basic rules. The default rule is, as is written on the V5 rulebook, that a canceled non-action cards cost is paid in full. Swarm and Determine refer to the cost of an action card so they are in the right, unless you want to clean those up too. Smoking craters tell no tales. —Tex talks Battletech

Those cards have not been updated because they have not been reprinted, and because, if you follow the cardtext, they do the right thing even though the relevant part is in brackets. Retemplating applies only to new cards. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

This looks like another case where the "default" case in the rules does not match the usage, similar to limits on bleed modifiers. There are about twice as many cancel cards where where the cost is not paid than the opposite, even more if one counts all the Abombwe cards that use a single template as 1.
