Mystic Focus makes a person more attuned to the arcane, providing them with new insight into spells. The resulting bonus is a boost to the caster's Casting Strength for all spell types. Because lower level characters have the most to learn about spells, they receive the greatest benefit, using a formula of (30 - caster level) with a minimum of +10 CS.

Warding spells from the Elemental (MnE, MjE, Bard) and Sorcerer spheres receive a further bonus based on the caster's Magic Item Use or Arcane Symbols skill, depending on whether Mystic Focus was cast from a magic item or a scroll. The Elemental CS bonus is a base +25 CS if the caster has at least 25 ranks of MIU or AS, with an additional +1 CS for every two skill ranks above 25 up to a maximum of +50 CS at 75 ranks. The Sorcerer CS bonus is a base +13 CS at 25 ranks, with an additional +1 bonus for every four skill ranks above 25 up to a maximum of +25 CS at 73 ranks. The Elemental/Sorcerer sphere bonus does not stack with Elemental Targeting (425).

This spell can commonly be found in heavy quartz orbs. It is activated by rubbing the orb.

Elemental spells include Wizard Base, but as there are no Wizard Base warding spells, this bonus is not applicable.
