| Each Scholar can make his own Arcane Focus, which eliminates the need to carry spell component. This requires time and money. He must bind a spell he knows into his focus by spending 1 week and 50gp per spell level of known spell into the object. Once this is accomplished, each time the scholar casts that spell while holding the focus, he does not need to expend any spell components. Each type of Scholar uses a different type of focus: | Each Scholar can make his own Arcane Focus, which eliminates the need to carry spell component. This requires time and money.

| **A Stranger's Focus**: if you gain possession of the magic focus of another scholar of your archetype, you can attempt to wrest it to your control. You must make 3 successful Arcana Checks vs. a DC equal to 15 plus the highest level spell bound to the focus, before you make 2 failures. Once you have done so, the focus is in your power and you can use it to call forth any spell bound to it that you are sufficient level to cast. If you score 2 failures before your 3 successes, the focus bursts into flames and is destroyed. | **A Stranger's Focus**: if you gain possession of the magic focus of another scholar of your archetype, you can attempt to wrest it to your control.
