Caster Foci function differently to other kinds of weapons, and are usually used by spellcasters or other kinds of mages, however, are not limited to such groups.

Caster Foci are treated differently when imbued with powers, when Imbued, the imbuement lasts until the wielder rests. Their main attack is replaced with a copy of the power. This power has -80% Power Potency penalty applied to it (if it is two handed, this is instead reduced to -40%), however, the Power Potency of the Caster Foci is added onto this attack. They can cast this power and reload the weapon as normal.

You may use Caster Foci to cast powers through them, when these powers are cast, they use the effects of the Power Potency and the TP Modifier of the attack, increasing or decreasing the amount of TP required to cast a power.
