Street-Tier Power Focus

Street-Tier Power Focus is a fist-sized power focus grown around a salvaged gate-conductor core and locked inside a scarred alloy cage. Its pulse is uneven but strong, the magical equivalent of an engine that idles badly and still wins the race. Licensed operators use it to push demanding workings past personal limits; unlicensed ones hide the paperwork and accept worse odds. The cage warms under load and keeps a permanent record of every overdraw as black branching marks. At 2,800 credits, it is the cheapest respectable focus Ninth Sign sells—and the most expensive object many street mages own. The listed 2,800 credits covers the item as shown, not bespoke consecration, licensing, or the clerk's suddenly expensive professional concern.
