Enhanced Spell Focus
Like a warrior has a sword and an archer a bow, many spellcasters have a focus of some sort. Enhanced foci are useful in that they can eschew the need for material components, or allow the use of level 7+ spells that require such focuses. They come in many forms: staves, wands, scepters, vajra, holy symbols of all kinds, crystals, and whatever else can be fashioned into a focus.
Enhancement
Enhancement grants a bonus equal to the enhancement of the focus to any spell that requires an attack roll. Foci also grant an equivalent number of bonus spell slots. So if a character has a +5 focus, they have 5 free spell slots to be broken up as five 1st-level spells, one 5th-level spell, and everything in between. These spell slots can also be used to apply metamagic to a spell currently being cast, so long as the user has the feat. These spell slots regenerate every morning. Some spells require foci of a certain enhancement to even be cast. If the cost of the spell focus is five times greater than the material cost for a spell, the material component can be ignored.
