View source for Alteration/Ritual Focus

There is no guarantee that all merchants who work on [[Focus_(item)#Ritual_Focus|ritual foci]] will provide all of these services.

==Base Items==
Ritual foci can be created from items that have no special verbs, scripts, or enchantments.

Ritual foci can be wearable, but you must hold them while activating them.

==Spell Compatibility==

Spellbook-based ritual foci do not require any special feats to use.

Universal and realm-based ritual foci require the [[Magical_feats#Spell_Casting|Improvised Rituals feat]]. Options:
* holy
* life
* elemental
* lunar
* universal

==Activation Roundtime==

Activation roundtime defaults to 20 seconds and can be reduced down to 10 seconds.

==Invoke Messaging==

Invoke messages can be up to 500 characters (including punctuation and spaces).

There will be a pair of user (second person) and observer (third person) messages. We can use tokens for names and pronouns.

The messaging should make for an item the player is holding and should be agnostic to the surroundings. (We don’t know whether the user will be indoors, outdoors, what time it will be, etc.)

The messaging should focus on physical details that would be visible to a casual observer. Do not include any information about the item’s history or provenance. Do not describe how people would react.
