Area of Effect: Caster and up to 5 other arcanists standing within an arcane circle.

The caster and up to four participating arcanists must stand inside an arcane circle, abbatoir or pentagram. When the caster invokes this spell, a magically charged emerald (called an arcane focus) is created for the caster and each participating arcanist. The arcane focus increases duration, spell damage, healing spell effectiveness, and area of effect for the activator’s Spellweaving spells.

A lone spellweaver cannot create a focus. If cast on a pentagram or abbatoir (including champion altars) focus = number of spell weavers in the circle -1. If cast on an arcane circle, focus = number of spell weavers in the circle. If cast on the circle at the center of Prism of Light, or the recently added West Britain Bank circle, focus = number of spell weavers in the circle +1. The maximum obtainable arcane focus is 6.

The spellweavers must all be within 20 skill points of each other to increase a focus. However, a spellweaver of any skill level can attain a level 2 focus from the Prism of Light or WBB circle as long as one other person of any skill level is standing in the circle as well.

Be aware: If you cast Arcane Circle after you already have a focus, the old one will *always* be replaced with the newer, so there’s the potential to actually downgrade.
