Joyride rolls her eyes, “Well that’s just no fun, is it? Fine, I’ll see who I can rustle up and you can decide. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to find the biggest, strongest zebra I can. I’ll make sure you can’t sit for a week!”
Ignoring this, Emerald asks how much a focus actually costs.
“I’m not sure to be honest. Like I said, I’ve never needed to buy one. Oh yeah, that reminds me. I got our money from Sensoria.”
Joy pulls a bag of coins out of the air and hands it to Emerald. After counting the coins Emerald does some quick calculations and realizes he only has 400 bits altogether at the moment.
Emerald asks if he could use his pendant as a focus.
Joyride grimaces at this and says, “Probably not. A focus is specifically made as a conduit for magic. That amulet was made to contain something. Sure it might work, but I’d be worried what would happen if you tried. I still don’t understand how you made a potion with it.”
Emerald asks if he can make his hat into a focus.
“Hmm… Not like it is now, but if we took it to a proper enchanter maybe? No promises though.”
Emerald asks Joy about the different kind of focuses she’s seen.
“Oh, they come in all shapes and sizes, and they all have advantages and disadvantages. Wands are the most popular because they are easy to direct magic with. Small weapons work nicely as well since most are basically wands with pointy bits on the end. I’ve seen books as well, and it’s nice because then you have a spellbook and your focus all in one! Heck, I’ve even seen an old shoe used a focus before. Certainly caught me by surprise!” Joyride chuckles.
