Foci Materials

Foci are the combination of matter and concentrated energy from a particular figment of the Weave. Due to the volatile nature of the Weave, Foci are very flawed tools. The only way to make a Foci better at its job is to make it using better materials. Foci are made out of one of two different materials, that being Metal or Gemstones. Foci made from Metal are far more durable, and can last for many castings of a spell. Foci made from Gemstones can hold multiple spells, making them much more versatile. Trying to combine both Metal and Gemstone into a Foci causes instabilities which can cause the Foci to randomly explode upon use.

How well a material performs is based more on its rarity and value, not on its composition. Because of perception being the main factor, any Exotic materials from the veil that are gemstones or metal are some of the best materials for Foci. Granted, they can be rather unpredictable due to also being closely tied to the Veil.

Gemstone Foci
Gemstone Foci have the main ability of holding more spells, but certain gemstones also carry different effects with them when used as a material in a Foci.

Metal Foci
Metal Foci have the main ability of having more durability, but certain metals also carry different effects with them when used as a material in a Foci.
