✦ Synopsis

While arcane might stems from learned study or fiery blood, it is the material component and focus that fuels a spell and drives its power. This latest tome from the Encyclopaedia Arcane series takes a detailed study of the components and arcane foci spellcasters use in their art, allowing players to modify spells and gain yet higher abilities – so long as their purse is deep enough to afford the finest items or they are prepared to travel far and wide to locate rare components. Spellcasting has never been more potent! Mongoose Publishing is well known for its acclaimed Encyclopaedia Arcane series, guaranteeing instant recognition from gamers. Building upon the success of the previous Demonology, Necromancy and Chaos Magic books, Components and Foci will have instant appeal to both players and Games Masters as any arcane spellcasting character may use the rules contained within this D20 rules supplement.
