Focus

Up. MOC - HarnMaster Spells

Focus (III)

An enchantment to create a focus artifact of a chosen convocation. The caster must be attuned to that convocation. The caster is instinctively aware of the direction to a focus if separated from it.

Focus installs a major or minor power in an artifact. If installed as a major power, Focus occupies three (3) points of Ego/Will. If installed as a minor power, it cannot be combined with any other enchantment. Duration is Permanent if the power is installed when the artifact is made / grown; otherwise, it is Indefinite.

The value of a focus depends on casting success and the CSI of the chosen convocation:

• MS = CSI
• CS = CSI x2

Example

A mage with Neutral CML 50 has a Focus EML of 50-15=35. The 15 point penalty is for the complexity level of Focus. The mage wishes to create a Jmorvi focus. With MS, and a Jmorvi CSI 6, a Jmorvi Focus +6 is created.

To use a Focus, the caster must be in direct skin contact. A focus adds its value to spell EMLs of the same convocation. That is, a Jmorvi Focus +6 provides a bonus of +6 to all Jmorvi spells.

Mages can re-enchant their foci of Indefinite Duration, raising them to a higher value with a CS casting or when CSI improves. Foci of Permanent Duration cannot be re-enchanted. CF dispells the original enchantment.

Bonus Effects

CML 80+ A caster attuned to all convocations has the option to create a Rainbow Focus. This artifact enhances all magic equally. Focus value is MS=CSI/2 or CS=CSI (50% normal).
