[FOCI]
Translation Codex
A Focus I've found myself in possession of many times, this is the art of magic itself. While others dabble, we sorcerers indulge in the deepest mysteries of the arcane. We search and study, learn and experiment. We carve our name into the tree of knowledge and proclaim ourselves gods of our time and place.
Sorcery is not for the timid. It is not for the merely curious. It is serious and dangerous work, requiring courage and focus. It is willful discipline alone that alters these worlds in ways worth writing songs about, and sorcerers are those who forge our souls into such shapes that we may do so.
Arcane energies swirl about, distracting a foe for one round.
Your spell affects one additional target within range.
This Focus is designed specifically with the Paradox Type in mind. Other Types are not focused enough on "magic" to practice it.
You draw upon ambient magical energies to increase the effectiveness of a Paradox Revision you cast this round, providing an Asset on any roll made to activate.
You give up some of your own life energies to increase the power of a Revision you cast this round, gaining one Effort on the activation roll, at no cost beyond the Might points used to fuel this ability. Can stack with Empowerment.
You are trained in the use of all Revisions.
You gather magical force from a large source of magic within Long distance, eliminating the cost of a Revision you cast this round. May be used in conjunction with Empower and Sacrifice.
You destroy one magical effect of a Level equal to or lower than your Tier.
Whenever you use the Syphon ability, you may gain the benefits of Empower and Sacrifice at no cost.
However, when you elect to do so, you trigger an Intrusion on a roll of 3 or lower, rather than just on a 1.
You are specialized in the use of all Revisions.
GM Intrusion: The dangers of magic catch up with you and you are permanently altered in some grotesque way.
