So i started looking into making a power foci for my character i wanted it at R4 but the 100k price tag was a little steep. But now looking at the rules for making one why wouldnt you just by buying hits it would take me 25 days to make this foci and just at the cost of the mats for the telesma.
So why would you buy one instead of making it yourself |
