I just want to wave my staff or wand or whatever for all of my spells, please and thank you. It's something that I tend to handwave when I DM, and I imagine lots of people do the same. For general advice, though, RAW is the safer bet.A spellcasting focus for an arcane class works the same way as it does for a divine one, with the exception that you can put a holy symbol on a shield. You have to handle it and it only applies as a substitute for material components. The general rule is on pg. 203 of the PHB, under Components > Material.Edit: Yeah, the common workaround is component pouch around the neck. Handle it, then let it go.</blockquote>
