A heavy quartz orb contains the spell "Mystic Focus" which cannot be learned by player characters at this time.

Characters below level 20 receive a bonus of [10+(20-level)].
Chracters level 20 and above receive a flat +10 bonus.
First-person initiation message You rub the quartz orb in your hand.
Feels smooth!
A sudden clarity of thought comes over you, and you realize that you now understand arcane mysteries that were previously incomprehensible.
Third-person initiation message {Character} rubs a heavy quartz orb in his hand.
A look of dawning understanding comes over {character}.
His quartz orb suddenly disintegrates!
Expiration message (first-person only) Like a faint wisp of a barely-remembered dream, your brief, enhanced comprehension of arcane mysteries slips away.
