DIP, FOCI, FOCUS
A focus is an object imbued
with powerful magic and bound to
its owner. Several kinds of foci are rumoured to exist, each endowed with
different powers. A warrior
might prefer a focus which enhances his battle prowess or weakens his enemies,
a sorcerer could instead focus on his arcane arts or on healing.
Certain focus powers are constantly active; others must be explicitly called
upon, through use <item>
<target>.
The target can be oneself,
someone else, or on an entire
group.
Foci are created by casting
create focus
on the appropriate material component. If the ceremony is performed in the
right place and in the right way, the vessel must also be enchanted and
blessed. When all is done correctly the foci is bound to the caster.
People cannot own more than one focus at any given time: old foci will lose their powers whenever a new focus is created.
Creating some of the foci requires to dip a component into one of
the pools on Tol Eressëa or in Valinor.
