Destroying a focus..., ...in astral combat or with a spell? Options

[Particle_Beam]

Hello

I'd like to know if it is possible to destroy an active focus in astral space either by astral combat, or by targeting it with a mana combat spell, like for example mana bolt.

As far as I know, you can attack and destroy non-living astral forms, like a ward.

What happens to an active focus if attacked in astral combat/by a mana combat spell?

Is it then permanently destroyed? Disrupted?

Does force add to the object 'body' value of the focus item?

Thank you very much in advance.

we don't particularly know, iirc. though we may or may not have something that specifically says that when a focus is defeated in some way, it is merely deactivated. not sure on that.

what kind of focus?

Any kind, as once they're active, they become dual-natured, don't they?

Well personally I'm not mean enough to rule that Foci are destroyed so I just rule that they are disrupted and have to be reactivated.
