Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sarellion" data-source="post: 595019" data-attributes="member: 6254">In the new capaign I want to start I will try something else.Wizards are using a focus for all their spells, this can be a staff, a torc or special gloves or something else. The foci are nsribed with arcane runes or the runes are stitched in. The focus will look special. The kind of focus will depend on your wizard school. A wizard still needs costly material components, the focus will not replace them. Nearly all people in the world recognize most of the items and know of their importance. Every wizard is running around with such an item and there are enough rumors that tie spellcasting to the focus. Some people even believe they only need the item to cast spells.  Of course most people would prefer gloves. most of the time there is a problem wearing magic gloves and focus gloves, but you have to go back to school to change the magic gloves. Another possibility is wearing a special gloves like the villains wear in the Star Gate series.Staves have another advantage besides being not such a hassle if you wish to wear gloves. You can get a price reduction of 10% if you purchase wands. Instead of a wand you install a gem in a socket of your staff. There will be some special abilities for the staff that you can purchase with exp, like hovering beside you, reduce size, even more resistance against outside influences (foci are hard to destroy even at the start of the game), come to the wizards side and teleport staff to the wizards side.Sorcerers don't need normal cheap, so they have an advantage that their spellcasting is not tied to a focus.</blockquote>
