Focus

A focus is an object imbued with powerful magic and bound to its owner. Several kinds of foci 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, by using the item - on oneself, on 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 focus 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.

An in depth explanation of the focus system can be found under Staff, Gem, and Focus Guide.

Once a focus is created you can call an Eagle.
