WC & Focused Practitioners? *Updated Enchanted Item Question*
Mal_Luck:
And if the Focused Practitioner only had Channeling (or only Ritual), he'd only be able to have 1 Refinement. +1/+1 Power(or Complexity)/Control, since he can't have +2/+2.
I might house-rule this. If your pigeon-holed into one specialty, you might as well be great at it.
LCDarkwood:
From my research, it seemed clear that focused practitioners who don't open themselves up to the full spectrum of magic have a kind of glass ceiling on them - like, they can't amass the kind of ability the Council would take seriously, something Harry's often chided them for in the books. So you get a weird sort of tiering, where no focused practitioner can be as good as a full wizard with the same specialty. They're sort of like oWoD sorcerers and hedge wizards (shout out to all the people I just dated myself for), except we decided one damn magic system was enough. ;)
So, that's why no other forms of refinement for focused practitioners. However, what you do at your table is between you and your peeps. :)
[EDIT: Harry chided the Council, not the practitioners. Oy.]

No. Also bear in mind, that with a couple of Focus items, Binder Could easily have had something like 6 each in Control and Complexity for Summoning and Binding with Great Lore and Discipline and a couple of +2 Rings.
Korwin:
Hmm, he can take Refinement for additional Items.
So one Refinement means +2 for an Focus. Maximum for his Foci is his Lore skill.
OK I see how he can get quite high...
