Description | This rite must be performed on a crafted item of superior or greater quality, of symbolic importance to the magician. The form of the item should reflect the study path for which it is intended, and the magician’s magical method (e.g. a spiritual sorcerer might use a mask, or a necromancer might bind a bone rod).
A superior item can be bound for one year before expiring, while a mastercrafted item can be renewed each year (see below). Binding and Improving a Focus Once bound, a path focus can be further invested through additional performances of this rite, each level building on the levels below (e.g., binding a greater path focus requires performing this rite three times). Increasing the level of a path focus requires a higher skill level in the relevant study path. Using a Focus
Note: Be warned that a bound path focus is a very strong sympathetic link to its owner – if stolen, it can be used in a ritual, or as part of a rite, to target the magician with malicious magics. |
