Animus stone

Animus stone

An ancient jade stone marked with sacred tribal carvings. Tribal psycasters can focus on these stones during meditation to increase their psyfocus gain more than a typical nature shrine.
Different tribal cultures tell different stories about these stones, but most agree that they were crafted by an ancient world spirit during a time of great power. Since they look like natural objects to unobservant outsiders, raiders will generally ignore them.

    Analysis

    Animus stones are the strongest Natural meditation focus, 6% stronger than the anima tree. However, the anima tree has the benefit of the anima tree linking ceremony, giving pawns access to a higher level of psylink.

    Compared to other foci, natural focus has the disadvantage in that they should be placed far from artifical buildings. This increases travel time and reduces efficiency of this focus. The animus stone has the highest base focus of all foci, though a legendary sculpture boosted by 8 masterwork sculptures has a quality of 44%.
