Ritual: Shaman Focus

Focuses are the alternative to weapon styles, available for casters or other roles that don't leverage a weapon style in their character.

Only one Focus may exist at a time for any one character, who is attuned to that Focus, and the abilities of that Focus are dependant on the Benefit rank obtained.

If the Focus is ever lost, either separation by planar magic or by the Focus's destruction (voluntarily or otherwise), the character may re-create the Focus. Recreation takes 1 day for each rank previously purchased. During recreation, all mana is consumed each day and not available for any other purpose, and no break in creation is permitted. If the character desires, he can recreate the Focus at a lower rank than previously obtained, however future rank increases must be paid at full cost. During recreation, the character may change any previous choices made for the prior Focus, if applicable.

Req. Shamanism Source

Rank	Name	Description
1	Spirit Guard	You gain +1 Defense against Spirits physical attacks. This bonus does not apply to shamanism spells granted by spirits. Additionally, your manifested spirits gain a +1 Defense.
2	Basic Focus	Choose either Spells or Manifestation. Gain a +1 focus bonus on either all spells from this Source when wielded OR your manifested spirits physical attacks. This bonus increases to +2 at Rank 3, and +3 at Rank 5. The magic imbued in this device is not compatible with enhancement bonuses, so a weapon turned into a focus could not also be enchanted with an enhancement bonus.
3	Repair Spirit	As a standard action the caster may heal a manifested spirit for Intelligence + Shamanism + Manifested Spirit Rank. This effect costs 1 mana.
4	Spirit Tap	As a standard action the caster may reduce a manifested spirit's current and maximum health by 1 to gain 1 mana. This continues for each round they concentrate on the effect.
5	Channel Spell	Your manifested spirits may cast one spell they provide up to one rank below their rank(to a maximum of Rank 3) as a standard action. The mana for the spell is drawn from the caster's pool.
