During the time, you can activate it as often as you want, as an instant action, to repel a single attack. You could, alternately, say that it activates on its own whenever you're attacked. That takes some of the control away from the caster (he can't let attacks through), but that might be okay, too. The activation isn't really a crucial point here. I was just something to work with the material component-on-demand.Exactly. I called them Contingency Focus, but the effect is the same: A focus that turns into a material component (and is used up) when the spell actually does something.No, it isn't, but some can work with it, and work well. Plus, as I said, some spells without component could be changed to use this, in order to balance them somewhat.Something like that. I still would put a limit to the spell (so you can't load yourself with a couple of thousand gil worth of diamond and wade through an army of goblins unharmed), but you generally got it.</blockquote>
