Spells with a duration of "focus" use special rules. A caster can only maintain one focus spell at a time. It will remain active as long as he can focus. That is, while he is able to think clearly and is not stunned for a period of time. A group of mentalists can, together, provide multiple focus spells for the group but still only one each.

Training in [LINK]http://www.play.net/gs4/info/skills.asp#mentallore Mental Lore, Divination[/LINK] allows the caster to watch others in different realms (variant amount required determined by distance). The required lore for distance is broken down into three tiers: adjacent (30), near-adjacent (60), and far (90). An example of adjacent realms is Wehnimer's Landing to the Shadow Lands; near-adjacent is Wehnimer's Landing to Icemule Trace; and far is Wehnimer's Landing to Ta'Illistim.

3. Cause the target to lose a portion, or all, of their mana.
When cast on an item, this spell has a chance to drain charges, dispel any stored spells, or remove some other special quality.
