I’ve been enjoying Magiclysm and modding for a while now but I haven’t seen any documentation that explains mana focusing. Can anyone explain or point me in the right direction? Thanks 🙂

according to Rycon Roleplays’ Luna Magiclysm run, it’s either a copper circlet or bracelet/ring

Edit:
A comment I found useful
> Rycon, don’t know if you noticed but the copper circlet has a Mana Focusing quality of 1, that might come in handy

> Also, Search for the Copper Bracelets that are in some of these bedrooms, i believe they have Mana Infusing, something you needed for a magical recipe.
This is the video where he goes to get them and explain them a little [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC8NFRXIBc4&list=PLxIQ9fpV90xOA4YtruQgs2iIvuG1vSUdw&index=21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC8NFRXIBc4&list=PLxIQ9fpV90xOA4YtruQgs2iIvuG1vSUdw&index=21)

Ah, perhaps my question wasn’t clear: what does mana focusing do? what difference does it make? how do I use it?
Alternatively, do you have a timestamp for relevant bit in the videos?
Thanks 🙂

Mana focusing is a tool quality, so it’s only use is that you need it for some recipes as far as I know.

Ah, thanks. Most helpful. I was hoping there was some in-game lore but just knowing where it is applicable is useful. Now I can get modding. 🙂
