Foci
Magical foci are used as tools to empower spellcasting and produce magical effects for spellcasters. Foci can be crafted from metal, wood, stone, glass, bone, or horn. A character can craft staves, or augment them with the use of Jewler's tools, Glassblower's tools, Stonecrafter's tools or Carver's tools. This requires one of these toolsets and proficiency in those tools, a safe location to work uninterupted for the required crafting time, and the required materials and funds to craft the equipment.

Crafting Foci
A focus is a piece of magical equipment that empowers the wielder's spellcasting. It can hold different magical effects, called augmentations. A staff must always contain a basic augmentation that determines the effect on the wielder's spellcasting. A basic augmentation is chosen when the staff is crafted, and costs no additonal materials. Each focus can be created using the requisite materials, depicted in the Crafting Foci Table. Each rarity has a number of augmentation slots that determine the maximum number of augmentations that can be added to that weapon, not including the basic augmentation. A staff requires attunement by a spellcaster, as per the basic augmentation.Crafting Augmentations
