Archon's Focus
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting] 1 standard action Cypren
- Sor/Wiz 5 V, S, M
1 round/level (D) Personal General
Target: You

Your mind goes into overdrive and you can cast an additional spell of lower level per round, provided any material components are in hand before casting.

Your mental focus sharpens drastically, permitting you to safely rush the casting of spells that do not overly stress your magical potential. Beginning with the round after this spell is cast, each round you may cast one spell as a free action that provokes attacks of opportunity and cannot be cast defensively. It is not a quickened spell and does not count toward the regular limit of one quickened spell per round.

This secondary spell is cast as if your caster level were eight levels lower than normal. Spells (including metamagic-enhanced spells) which would be unavailable to a caster of this level are likewise unavailable when using this ability. Spells with a casting time longer than 1 standard action cannot be cast using archon's focus.

Archon's focus only increases your mental speed, not your physical dexterity. As a result, spells which use material components or focus items cannot be cast unless those items were present in your hands prior to casting. If you have already cast another spell that did not require material components or focus items during the round, it is acceptable to ready the components for your second spell during the casting of the first.
