Modular Abilities: Too good?

Spirit Focus (+3 O/D Control, +3 O/D Power, 4 Slots)

I don't think this is kosher as a single focus. The total bonus on a focus is limited by your Lore. You have a total of +12 bonuses!

Works for me. 8)
My final word on the subject: I'm not really arguing that Modular Abilities aren't powerful...just that they're not more powerful than some equivalent cost options.

Yeah, looks like you are right, break it into 4 items then and you should be golden.
I find it sort of disconcerting that Luminos asked how to get 8 shift spirit evocations and then 2 people almost fully statted out a character within the time it took me to do it.

Great minds stat alike. :D

This isn't how a Focus Specialization works. Check out p. 280, specifically the paragraph on them:
"Alternatively, a crafting specialization may be applied to increase the limit on how many bonuses may be placed on a single focus item (a focus specialization)."
Emphasis mine. It doesn't increase the Focus item's actual bonus per slot, just how many slots you can put into one item. So your version doesn't work. Sorry. :(
