The Mana Focus spell, if successful, will create a temporary 'Node' (for purposes of mana regeneration) at the caster's current location. There is a chance of catastrophic failure which can harm or kill the caster. (These failures are similar to those seen with Familiar Gate). Level is a major factor for a successful cast of this spell. Even square professions with limited magical training will experience high rates of success.

The node creation does not act like a true earth-node. Essentially, there will be a normal pulse and then an "enhanced" pulse shortly thereafter.

Messaging

Success:

>wave rod
You raise your pointed rod towards the sky!
  1d100: 97 + Modifiers: 70 == 167

You struggle to gather the flows of essence in this area. A strong whirlwind whips through the area, stirring up dust and other small pieces of debris, which form a small cloud overhead.

You feel that you have successfully been able to temporarily anchor the flows of essence in this area.

The whirlwind subsides, allowing the dust cloud to settle.

Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Failure

You gesture.
You struggle to gather the flows of essence in this area.
A strong whirlwind whips through the area, stirring up dust and other small pieces of debris, which form a small cloud overhead.

As you struggle to gain control over the flows of essence, you feel a sudden surge of power!
A bolt of pure energy suddenly leaps out from the center of the dust cloud, striking you squarely and knocking you to the ground!

  ... 25 points of damage!
  Nasty shock to left hand stiffens fingers. Nice and painful.
  You are stunned for 2 rounds!
The whirlwind subsides, allowing the dust cloud to settle.

Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Note the failure also drained about 100 mana.
