===Cambrinth===
Sigzil says, "I will not change how your focus looks when you activate it, just how it appears when you look at it."


Sigzil changes only the appearance of existing cambrinth. He will not add cambrinth, change capacity, or change wear locations.
Sigzil says, "If you have a mundane item, I can turn it into a new ritual focus. The base item must not have any other enchantments."


===Ritual Foci===
OOC: The base item must not be scripted or enchanted.


{{:Alteration/Ritual_focus}}
Sigzil says, "I can also change the frequency of mana to which your ritual focus is attuned (150 plats for universal or 50 plats for a specific realm)."


===TM Foci===
Sigzil says, "With the exception of universal ritual foci creation (150 plats), the base fee for all other services is 50 plats."


Sigzil says, "If you want me to create a new ritual focus and change the item's appearance, you must pay both fees (50/150 for the enchantment and 50 for the appearance)."
Note: while Sigzil will let you choose tuning options when creating a new TM focus from scratch, he will not change tier, grade, or tuning options on existing TM foci.


{{:Alteration/Targeted_Magic_Focus}}
Sigzil says, "If you want me to change both the mana frequency and appearance of a ritual focus, you must pay both fees (50/150 for the frequency change and 50 for the appearance)."

Sigzil says, "If you want me to add rare materials, you must provide the rare material, and you must pay 25 plats per material added."

Sigzil says, "As always, if it's a ritual focus that is a weapon, shield, or armor, the noun must remain as it is."

Sigzil says, "Now, if it's something worn, like an armband, the new noun must be roughly the same type of item. I could turn a necklace into a pendant but not into a bracelet."

OOC: Noun changes are not allowed for weapons or armor. For worn fluff, the new noun must be roughly synonymous with the current noun and make sense for the wear location. For non-worn items, that will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Sigzil says, "I cannot change the color of the light, just how the item looks (and the mana type for ritual foci)."

Sigzil says, "If you have a mundane item, I can turn it into a new ritual focus. The base item must not have any other enchantments."

OOC: The base item must not be scripted or enchanted.

Rules

Cambrinth

Sigzil changes only the appearance of existing cambrinth. He will not add cambrinth, change capacity, or change wear locations.

Ritual Foci

There is no guarantee that all merchants who work on 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 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.

TM Foci

Note: while Sigzil will let you choose tuning options when creating a new TM focus from scratch, he will not change tier, grade, or tuning options on existing TM foci.

There is no guarantee that all merchants who work on TM foci will provide all of these services.

Base Items

TM foci cannot be wearable, and they cannot be weapons or armor. They can’t have any other scripts, enchantments, or special functionality.

Realm

Realm is purely cosmetic. Options:

  • holy
  • life
  • elemental
  • lunar
  • arcane

Tuning Options

Foci can be tuned to provide:

  1. additional durability
  2. additional magnitude, or
  3. reduced activation time

They can be designed to provide:

  1. a large damage increase
  2. a moderate damage and accuracy increase
  3. a moderate increase to mana efficiency
  4. a large bonus to accuracy
  5. a chance for adding fire damage
  6. a chance for adding cold damage
  7. a chance for adding electrical damage
