Ritual: Sorcerer Focus

Requirements

• Sorcery Source
• Rank 1-5, 1 CC point per Rank or 3 GXP x Rank

Effects

Sorcerer Focuses are not bound to any specific form, often taking the shape of weapons, books, or rings. The shape of the focus does not affect its use.

If the Focus is ever lost, either separation by planar magic or by the Focus's destruction (voluntarily or otherwise), the character may re-create the Focus. Recreation takes 1 day for each rank previously purchased. During recreation, all mana is consumed each day and not available for any other purpose, and no break in creation is permitted. If the character desires, he can recreate the Focus at a lower rank than previously obtained, however future rank increases must be paid at full cost. During recreation, the character may change any previous choices made for the prior Focus, if applicable.

Only one Focus may exist at a time for any one character, who is attuned to that Focus, and the abilities of that Focus are dependent on the Benefit rank obtained.
