Arcane Focus

For those skilled in a craft, tools are the extension of the body that shape materials. The blacksmith’s hammer forges steel, the mason’s chisel splits stones. 

What then, of the mage? With what tools do they give form to those esoteric materials?

Arcane Focus is a small character creation supplement for spellcasting characters in tabletop roleplaying games. It's designed to prompt more detailed character and worldbuilding around the material properties of magic, using real-world tools to evoke our existing intuitions about shaping and making things.
