Banishing and Counterspelling Foci, Prime use – ornament Options

Yeah, I mean, I was raised Catholic but if anything I still kinda associate prayer beads mostly with dharma.

Prayer beads are a convenient way to keep track of how far along a series you are. No wonder they're popular in many faiths.

Even if I had all the banishing foci I probably would never use one. You cant have them all active, and it takes an action to activate a focus. Better to just learn the spirit bolt/ball spell at descent force and keep your combat spell focus active in the same way the samy keeps his gun loaded.

The only time I have ever used banishing was in SR3 when facing a spirit so big we couldn’t hope to kill it quickly. I engaged it in banishing to distract it while my team mates killed it. Used a lot of karma pool to get 1 net successes and hold it in place long enough to see it taken down with weapon foci and the force of will rules.

Dead easy to make too. It's kinda like the "spread" of the abacus. Who came up with it first is almost beside the point since it seems like every 3rd civilization had their own precursor up and running anyway. Similar problems breed similar solutions and all that.
