Editing Template:Focus (section)

== Suprassing A Focus ==

You can perform magic without a focus, but it’s very difficult to do so. Your mage concentrates on the desired Effect, then channels his will with all of his might. If he’s lucky, he may succeed in performing magic without the use of the focus.

You must spend a Willpower Trait immediately. When you do, you make your usual magical test, but you do so at a three-Trait difficulty penalty for Arete purposes, so you’re much more likely to fail. However, this system allows you to perform magic if you are somehow prevented from using any focus (if you’re mentally projecting, or if you are bound and gagged without any possessions, for instance).
