Wands – Wands are generally used by students, learners, and those who struggle with focus. Wands consist of a conductive core, an insulated covering that is normally wood, and a focal point at the tip of some form of crystal or gemstone. Close quarter combatant mages often use wands built into the hilts of their weapons.  

Staffs – Staffs unlike wands are centers of power often layered with protections, bound with favorite spells, augmented with means to store great and terrible power. Staffs are often kept by full casters as their inanimate companions through strife and trials often given from master to apprentice layered with generations of power. 

Rods – Rods are magical focuses made of a core of magical power, insulated in wood, a metal tip and a crystal pomme. Rods are used to store magical spells though most of the power comes from the wielder. 

Crystal Balls – Crystal balls are difficult focuses to create requiring them to be shaped from a single gemstone, often carved from the dragon stones of the first-generation dragons. Properly shaped Crystal Balls are powerful magical focuses that can channel the power of Fate and allow one to gain glimpses of the possibly futures and scry distant locations. Crystal Balls can be used to store immense amounts of magical energy to enhance spells and use stored Drain for future use. 

Moon Stones – Moon Stones are large magically created stones that come Blue, Yellow, or Red.  

-Blue the Embodiment of Azure, now gone from the sky, was once the Sphere of Protection from which protective magic was drawn from. Blue Moon Stones enhance protective spells in various ways.  

-Red the Embodiment of Maroon the Sphere of Destruction the source of destructive magic. Red Moon stones can bolster destructive spells in various ways. 

-Yellow the Embodiment of Saffron the Sphere of Creation the source of spells that bring things into existence, shape, and summon. Yellow Moon Stones can bolster summons, reinforce created objects, aid in enchanting, and otherwise augment utility and creation spells. 

Crooks – Crooks are long sticks with curved ends, prongs, or a gnarled wild shape. Crooks are like staffs without the ornamentations. Crooks are used by Dreite arcanists and divine servants. 

Runes – Runes are magical symbols in the Eldarian tongue carved into flesh and then flooded with special ink. These Runes bind spells into the flesh, stones, and other objects. 

Sentori – Sentori are ritual knives with black handles and blades made from iron found along ley lines. These magical weapons are used in nature magic. Sentori are not used to cut physical material but are important foci in rituals.  

Ellit – Ellit are specialized knives either made of silver or plated in it their handles must be made of a white material. They are used to prepare herbs, cut physical material in rituals, extinguish candles, and carve runes. 

Talisman – Talismans are small magical artifacts that embody protections during rituals often a combination of personal, ancestral, and divine symbols. Talismans can be passed down family lines gaining power through faith, through blood, through sweat, they can repel outsiders and undead. 

Chalice – Chalices are specialized cups carried down through generations one must wash the insides with the blood of each new owner adding a coat of life to it. Chalices are powerful ritual focuses. 

Grimoire – Grimoire, Spellbooks, Books of Shadow, Tomes, and Books of Words, are all the same places where mages store their thoughts, words of power, spells, beliefs, experimentations, and experiences. They bleed their lives into their pages and the more life they absorb the more potent these artifacts become. While old tomes are sought after most spellcasters see their Grimoire as something so personal that they wish to be buried with or cremated with them. Grimoire carried over generations can become so powerful that they start to warp and influence reality around them. Some can kill those not powerful enough to wield the magic they hold.
