Editing Focus (section)

==Abandoning Foci==

Eventually, with time and great enlightenment, you overcome the need for foci. You realize that it’s your will, not the objects that you use, that causes reality to change.

When you achieve a total of six Arete Traits, you may abandon all use of foci for two of your Spheres. In those Spheres, you can perform magic without any tools or practices. You simply concentrate for a turn on the desired Effect, and you make a test normally without any focus-related penalties. If you decide to go ahead and use a focus anyway, you gain a one-Trait resolution bonus on the test.

Each time you gain another Arete Trait over six, you abandon foci for two more Spheres.
