So this might be premature to suggest, but following on the heels of EMMO opening up cambrinth moonblades, it would be very cool for EMMO to also allow you to shape your moonblade to a TM focus. Is that technically feasible? Would EMMO be doing too much at that point?

There could Enchanting technique tie-ins the way crafting skills interact with SHMO. Altogether seems very moon-magey.

I agree. EMMO should be a focus, but not a damage focus. Maybe a super special focus that turned TKS into a cyclic (yeah, yeah, I know, but a mage can dream). Barring that, it should do something cool other than +dmg.

Not the right forums, but I think the same for summoned weapons. They should be special TM foci that allowed you to use that weapon as your warrior mage.

> Why not a damage focus?

MM doesn't strike me as a damage oriented guild.

> Tt should probably be shapable to all types of magic foci considering the moon limitation and the intent that moonblade is a wizard's staff.

Now that's a really good idea. Let it be a universal focus that you can shape to anything, including custom TM foci. Give it the same treatment as other summonables. If you have the enchanting techniques and the enchanting skill and the right materials or conditions then you can shape it to anything that's craftable.

> The whole point of a TM focus is that it negates the use of a weapon in favor of TM damage. You don't think giving WM's access to virtually every weapon without carrying any of them as well as a TM focus they can use built in and simultaneously use as a weapon isn't a little (a lot) overboard?

Warrior mage's thing is TM and combat. It makes sense that they have some sort of synergy with a TM foci. You can limit this in a way that makes sense balance wise. For example, the power of the foci would be inversely proportional to the power of the weapon, or limiting the spells to the type of the weapon (fire weapon = fire spells only, stone weapon = earth, etc..). It would be a small damage boost overall compared to other magical classes using foci, but nothing game breaking.

the belief that moonmages are a non-combat guild is too often used to argue against us having anything combat oriented. and that's coming from me who always says that people should pick another guild if they are interested in combat or pvp.
