Within the world of the Star Wilds, a magic focus is a small but essential machine that consumes refined mana as a fuel source to produce magic. These devices are the cornerstone of magical casting and are found in countless forms across the world. Spellcasters often integrate magic focuses into their tools, embedding them into the handles of wands, weapons, or staves, while others wear them as pendants or incorporate them into clothing or armor.
Most magic focuses feature a chamber or tank designed to hold processed mana, consuming the resource upon use to generate magical effects. This means that magic focuses require constant refilling to maintain their functionality, making mana a precious and finite resource. Despite this limitation, their utility is unrivaled—they are the only means of creating magical reactions, enabling spellcasting and the production of magical effects.
Beyond individual spellcasters, magic focuses power much of the magical technology across the Star Wilds, from airships to power systems, making them vital to the ongoing magical and technological revolutions shaping the world.
