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.
