Eschew Materials and Focus'

[Three_Haligonians]

I have a sorceress character who has the feats silent spell and still spell. I eventually want to be able to cast without any indication that I am casting. So, my question about Eschew Materials is that I'm not sure exactly what it includes. The PH says:

"You can cast any spell that has a material component costing 1 gp or less without needing that component. (The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.) If the spell requires a material component that costs more than 1 gp, you must have the material component at hand to cast the spell, just as normal."

So what about spell focuses? Should this feat allow you to not need focuses as well, or should that be a separate feat. If the latter, has anyone actually seen a feat that allows you to cast without spell focuses? Should there be one? Please keep in mind I mean arcane focuses, not divine.

Thanks,

R from Three Haligonians

Eschew Materials does just what it says, removes the need for the cheap material components. There is an EPIC feat that removes the need for the other material components, but, I have never seen any feat the removes the need for arcane focuses. Sorry.
