QUOTE (Ancient History @ Mar 20 2010, 03:10 PM)  The example of a unique focus on p. 9. Thanks! Its description is pretty clear. Since it's a "Unique" one, it should not be used as a general rule for foci though. |

Well, it's a unique focus.
BUT this also means SOMEONE has figured out a way to do just this. This also means someone else could figure it out too. And technically, every focus is unique anyway. |

yep, i re-read the section about creating Unique formula, and it is fine. No perma active weapon foci all around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The sword described p.9 has, for example, a carved fang from a Dragon as its hilt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) |

We were gonna have that in Street Magic originally, to go along with the intro fiction, but it just didn't pan out. Glad it did finally find a home.

Yes well, of course the stronger enchantments need stronger telesma.
Also, the magic level is constantly on the rise, magitech is going to happen. But probably not before SR Version 10 *snickers* |

Yes, i know. But not of the Magitech Calbre used in Earthdawn or other high Fantasy settings. It's good like that too ^^
Hmm, a PKE-Meter . . wonder if one could build something like that within the woo . . err, rules ^^ |

How would foci work for my non-awakened streetsam? Aren't they connected to the user's magic?

QUOTE (Wuerfelwerfer @ Mar 22 2010, 01:14 PM) How would foci work for my non-awakened streetsam? Aren't they connected to the user's magic? They would not work (you cannot bind a focus to yourself if not Awakened, nor do you have a Magic attribute), except for the Unique Enchantment type of objects, as described in Digital Grimoire and its example p.9 The user in "user's Magic" is the person bonded to the focus (an Awakened with a Magic attribute). If an active focus if separated from that user, it deactivates as mentioned in an earlier post in this thread |

Aren't they connected to the user's magic? Note how you didn't actually answer the question. He asked HOW those unique foci work if they're associated with a Magic attribute, and you said "they can't (except when they do, which was the question)" and then proceeded to state the obvious with regards to the normal circumstance, which was obvious (and not the question). |

Ah, thanks! Earlier on, I thought people were talking about the Grimoire of 3rd Edition and wondered what that would help me. Just found out that Digital Grimoire is something else entirely!
Question answered! |
