== MAGICAL FOCUS ==
Focuses are a unique form of Signature Gear and Equipment and can only be purchased with the Focus Edge. After character creation they must also be paid for with newyen/¥ (unless stolen from another caster) along with taking the Edge to ‘bond’ to the device. You cannpt take the Focus Edge more then a total of four times. Most focus can only be taken once but there are two exceptions - Weapon Foucs and Power Focus. These count towards the maximum number of times you can take the Focus edge. 

A Power Focus may not be combined with either the Spell Focus or Siphoning Focus. 

These are not the only kind of magical item but there are generally the only kind carried by characters. It takes a free action to activate or deactivate a Focus on the owner’s turn.

Magical Focus can be noticed from Astral Space; each Focus adds +1 to opponents using Astral Projection/Perception to Notice a subject that is trying to hide, reading their mood, etc.
