Craft Mage Focus [Item Creation]

You know the secrets to creating a device through which you may channel magic, adding strength to your magical effects.

Prerequisites: Arcane spellcaster, See individual foci below

Benefit: You may craft the various kinds of mage foci (listed below), each providing an increase in the DC of spells cast using the focus as well as other benefits.

Special: Magic cast through a foci is always more obvious than that which is not, involving gesticulating and waving about of the focus, even if the spell being cast does not normally have somatic or foci components.  Additionally, a mage who regularly uses a mage focus will find himself becoming dependent on this 'crutch'.  A mage who becomes so dependent suffers the following consequences when trying to cast spells without his focus: DC of all spells reduced by 2, caster level for spell effects at -1. 

These ill-effects can be removed if the mage uses no skill focus for a period of a month.  After a full month of not using any foci, the mage is allowed a will save vs. (DC 15 if caused by ring focus, DC 20 if caused by wand focus, DC 25 if caused by staff).  If the will save is failed, the mage must continue to use no focus and is allowed a new will save each week.  Once the addiction is cured, the mage may again use foci, but suffers the chance of developing new dependence all over again.  If the mage uses a focus even once during the time he is attempting to rid himself of dependence, he must again go a full month without before being allowed another will save.  Obviously, the use of focus is best for a mage who intends to use the focus consistently, and then ill-effects apply only if his focus is stolen or destroyed.

The creation of a focus requires that the crafter perform all crafting himself, thus he must possess the necessary craft skill as well as this feat.  It also requires that the caster include a certain number of things which are near and/or dear to him in the creation process.  A caster may only have one personal focus at any time, requiring the destruction or 'unkeying' of any other foci he has created before he may create a new one.  Additionally, as with all item creation feats, there is an xp cost of creating a focus.  As foci are specially 'keyed' to the mage creating them, this xp cost is greater than the normal 1/25 of base cost which most item creation involves.

Ring Focus: Requires Craft (goldsmith) or similar skill to make the ring.  The ring must be made with materials costing 250gp,  and has a craft DC of 20.  The effects of a ring foci are a +1 to the DC of all spells cast through it.  Note that this form of focus is the least 'obvious' as well as leaving both the mage's hands free yet still keeping the focus at hand. (xp cost: 100)

Using a ring focus has a 5% chance of causing 'foci dependence' in the mage as detailed above.  Each use in any single day increases this chance by 5% cumulatively.

Wand Focus: Requires craft (woodworking) or (ivory carving) or other material-crafting skill appropriate to make a wand of some material.  The wand must be made with materials costing at least 500gp, and has a craft DC of 25.  The effects of a wand focus are a +2 to the DC of all spells cast through it, and +1 to the 'caster-level' for all level-dependent spell effects. (xp cost: 250)

Using a wand focus has a 10% chance of causing 'foci dependence' in the mage as detailed above.  Each use in any single day increases this chance by 10% cumulatively.

Staff Focus: Requires craft (woodworking) and craft (goldsmith, gemcutting, or something similar) in order to make an elaborate staff with fine adornments.  The staff itself must be made with materials costing at least 250gp, with a craft DC of 20.  The adornments included on the staff must be made of materials costing at least 1000gp, with a craft DC of 25 to reflect the artistic and intricate nature of the adornments.  The effects of a staff focus are +3 to the DC of all spells cast through it, and +1 to the 'caster-level' for all level-dependent spell effects.   (xp cost: 500)

Additionally, a staff Focus may be used to 'store' spells which the caster has cast through it.  Spells are stored within the staff by casting the spell into them, and the staff will hold such spells for up to 1 day / 2 spell levels.  The number of stored spells can total up to one spell level per 2 caster levels, and can be triggered at will be the owner of the staff as a spell-trigger action.

Using a staff focus has a 20% chance of causing 'foci dependence' in the mage as detailed above.  Each use in any single day increases this chance by 20% cumulatively.
