REAGENTS
试剂

劇透 -   :

Mana infuses people—the existence of spellcasters and adepts is enough to prove that. But it also flows into critters, minerals, and plants. Elements of those things can become reagents, items imbued with magic that can be used in a variety of magical tasks.

法力流动在人们体内—法师和修士的存在就足以证明这一点。但它也会流淌在动物、矿物和植物中。这些东西中的元素可以变成试剂，可以用于各种魔法任务中的充满法力的物品。

劇透 -   :

The purest of all reagents is the thoroughly unnatural alloy known as orichalcum, an orange-gold metal whose main property seems to be an ability to hold magic. All reagents are compared to orichalcum, so that 1 dram of orichalcum is the standard measure of power for reagents. For reference, a dram of orichalcum weighs about 1.77 grams.

所有试剂中最纯净的是被称为奥利哈钢的完全非天然的合金，这是一种橙金色的金属，其主要特性似乎是储存法力的能力。所有的试剂都被类比于奥利哈钢，所以1打兰奥利哈钢就是试剂的标准能量单位。作为参考，一打兰奥利哈钢的重量约为1.77克。

劇透 -   :

Reagents come in all types and forms. Orichalcum can be created through Alchemy, but it’s a lengthy process beyond the reach of everyone but the most sophisticated alchemists. Naturally occurring reagents vary by tradition. Hermetic magicians prefer minerals, pure elements, old trinkets, and virgin ores. Shamans favor parts of plants and animals, naturally polished rocks, and small, intricately crafted handmade items. An Igbo mage might find magic in ofo wood, while an aspected magician might seek natural items that are harvested under a certain moon.

试剂有各种类型和形式。奥利哈钢可以通过炼金术制造出来，但这是一个漫长的过程，除了最老练的炼金术士外，旁人都无法企及。自然，不同流派有不同的制造试剂的方法。赫尔墨斯学派的法师更偏好矿物、纯净元素、老旧饰品和原石。萨满们更偏爱动植物的某一部分，自然抛光的岩石，以及小而精致的工艺品。伊格博法师可能会在ofo（伊格博人的神秘符号，代表神圣，权力，与奇内克的联系）木材中发现法力，而专精法师可能会寻找在特定月相时被采集的的天然物品。

劇透 -   :

Reagents are surprisingly common, but not all reagents can be used by every tradition. The cube of cinnabar that the hermetic magician values is useless to a shaman, just as the shaman’s bundle of feathers is of little interest to the hermetic mage. Generally speaking, the reagents from one tradition only work at half strength to magicians of other traditions. This makes trading in reagents a tricky proposition to anyone not versed in the fine art of talismongering.

试剂出人意料地普遍，但并不是所有的试剂都能被每个流派所使用。赫尔墨斯学派的法师看重的一块丹砂对萨满毫无用处，就像萨满的一束羽毛并不能引起赫尔墨斯学派法师的兴趣一样。一般来说，一个流派的试剂对其他流派的施法者只能起到一半的作用。这使得试剂交易对于任何不精通魔法物品交易艺术的人来说都是一件棘手的事情。

Reagents are almost as versatile as mana itself. When you spend a reagent, the mana it stores dissipates, which means it ceases to be a reagent, even if its physical form remains intact. Here’s a quick rundown of the many uses of reagents.

试剂的用途几乎和法力本身一样广泛。当你消耗一个试剂时，它储存的法力也会消散，这意味着它不再是一个试剂，即使它的物理形态保持完好。以下是试剂的多种用途的简要介绍。

劇透 -   :

Alchemical Preparations: You can spend reagents to reduce the drain from making a preparation.

炼金试剂：你可以使用试剂来抵消制作炼金制剂过程中出现的耗竭。

劇透 -   :

Artificing: You need to spend reagents to create foci.

炼成：你需要用试剂来制造法器。

劇透 -   :

Counterspelling: You can spend reagents to increase the area you protect with Counterspelling.

法术反制：你可以使用试剂来增加你的法术反制保护的范围。

劇透 -   :

Ritual Spellcasting: As part of the offering step, you can spend reagents to offset drain in Ritual Spellcasting (see Ritual Spellcasting, p. 143).

仪式施法：作为仪式施法必需的一部分，你可以消耗试剂来抵消在仪式施法中出现的耗竭（参见仪式施法，第143页）。

劇透 -   :

Summoning: You can spend reagents to gain Edge when summoning spirits.

召唤：当你召唤精魂时，你可以用试剂换取极限点。

劇透 -   :

Temporary Magical Lodge: You can create a temporary magical lodge by spending a number of drams of reagents equal to the Force of the lodge. The lodge takes one hour per point of Force to create and thereafter lasts until sunrise or sunset, whichever comes first.

临时魔法帐篷：你可以通过消耗打兰数等同于帐篷强度的试剂来建造一个临时魔法帐篷。这个帐篷的建造将会消耗掉每强度等级一小时的时间。这个帐篷在建成之后将保持效力，直到下一次到来的日出或者日落。

FOCI
法器

劇透 -   :

Foci (singular: focus) are specially crafted items made potent with a mana infusion. They are astral constructs embedded within physical objects. When active, the design of the astral construct pools mana energy so that the magician who owns it can use that energy for a specific magical task. The physical form of a focus varies—bracelets, amulets, belts, wands, walking sticks, staves, cups, bottle caps, daggers, hats, hip flasks, pens, and so on and so forth—although most of the time a focus reflects the tradition of its maker. Foci have a Force rating that measures their power.

法器是因法力灌注而变得有效的特殊制作物品。它们是嵌入在实体形态中的星界结构。当法器被激活时，经过设计的星界结构能够汇集魔法能量，以便拥有它的施法者可以将这些能量用于特定的魔法任务。法器的实体形态各不相同——手镯、护身符、皮带、魔杖、手杖、棍棒、杯子、瓶盖、匕首、帽子、扁酒壶、钢笔等等——尽管大多数时候法器反映了它的制造者的习惯。法器拥有衡量其能量的强度等级。

劇透 -   :

You can’t use a focus unless you’ve bonded it to yourself (and you can’t bond foci unless you’re Awakened—I mean, what would you do with it?). The amount of Karma required to bond a focus is different for each focus, listed on the Magical Goods table. Bonding a focus takes an hour per point of Force of the focus, time that is spent contemplating the object and synchronizing its astral signature to yours. Once you’ve spent the Karma and the time, the focus’ power is available to you. A focus can only be bound to one person at a time—the bonding process breaks the bond with the focus’ previous owner (if it had one).

你不能使用法器，除非你与法器联结(如果你不是觉醒者，你就与法器联结——我的意思是，你能对它做什么？)。魔法物品表上列出的联结每个法器所需的业力是不同的。联结一个法器将会消耗你每一个强度等级一小时的时间，这是花在对着法器冥想和同步它的星界印记到你身上的时间。在你花费了业力和时间后，你就可以使用法器的力量了。一个法器一次只能与一个人联结——同调过程会打破法器与它的前任所有者(如果有的话)的联系。

劇透 -   :

Each focus has a specific power (described under Focus Types) and must be active for you to use it. Activating and deactivating a focus is a Minor Action. For a focus to remain active, it must be in the possession of the magician (worn, carried, handheld, in a pocket or pouch, etc.). Fikewise, if you lose consciousness, any focus bonded to you deactivates. If you lose possession of a focus, it automatically deactivates and you lose all its benefits until you recover it and activate it again.

每种法器都有自己独有的能力（详述在下文的法器种类中）。你必须激活法器才能使用它们的能力。激活法器是一个次要动作。为了使一个法器保持激活状态，这个法器必须为施法者所有（被穿着、被携带着、被手握或者是被装在口袋里等等）。同样的，当你失去意识的时候，你的法器也会随之失效。当你失去对法器的所有权时，它将会自动冻结，并且在你重新拿回法器且激活它之前，你会失去该法器带给你的所有好处，知道你找回并再次激活它。

劇透 -   :

All foci have auras that are visible from astral space and carry your astral signature (p. 159). While activated, a focus also has an astral form. If you use astral projection, you also carry the astral form of any active foci you have. If you deactivate a focus while you’re projecting, its astral form disappears. You’ll need to go back to your body to reactivate it.

所有法器都具有星界可见的灵光，并带有你的星界印记（第159页）。当激活时，它也会具有自己的星界形态。如果你使用了星界投影，你也会带着你所拥有全部已激活法器的星界形态。假如你在你投影时冻结你的法器，该法器的星界形态将会消失，你必须回到你的身体中才能重新激活它。

劇透 -   :

You can’t bond more foci than your Magic attribute, and the maximum Force of all your bonded foci can’t exceed your Magic x 5. Regardless of the number of bonded foci you have, only one focus may add its Force to a dice pool for any given test.

与你联结的法器数量不能超过你的魔法属性，并且所有与你联结的法器的最大强度不能超过你魔法×５。无论你与多少法器联结，同时只有一个法器能添加他的强度值到检定骰池中。

劇透 -   :

Foci also have a cost in nuyen, as shown in the Foci Cost table.

法器也有以日元表示的售价，法器售价如法器售价表所示。

FOCUS TYPES
法器类型

劇透 -   :

There are seven categories of foci: Enchanting, Metamagic, Power, Qi, Spell, Spirit, and Weapon. Foci have the same cost as other foci in their category, but they don’t all have the same effect.

一共有七种类型的法器：炼术、超魔、威能、气、法术、精魂和武装。同类型的法器具有相同的消耗，但他们不一定有相同的效果。

ENCHANTING FOCI
附魔法器

劇透 -   :

Alchemical focus: An alchemical focus adds its Force in dice to Enchanting skill tests to create preparations.

炼金法器：炼金法器能将个数等同于该法器强度的骰子加入制造制剂的附魔技能检定的骰池。

劇透 -   :

Disenchanting focus: When a disenchanting focus is in contact with another artifact, the magician can add dice equal to its Force to the Disenchanting test.

分解法器：当分解法器和其他奇物接触时，施法者可以将个数等同于分解法器强度的骰子加入分解检定的骰池。

METAMAGIC FOCI
超魔法器

劇透 -   :

Metamagic foci support initiates and the higher forms of magic they’ve learned. Metamagic foci add their Force to the magician’s initiate grade when using specific metamagics.

超魔法器属于高等法器，它能为启蒙者与他们所习得的高阶魔法提供支持。在使用特定的超魔时，超魔法器添加它们的强度等级到法师的启蒙阶层上。

劇透 -   :

Centering focus: A centering focus adds its Force to the magician’s initiate grade when they use the centering metamagic on Drain Resistance tests.

专注法器：当使用专注-超魔在耗竭抵抗检定时，专注法器将他的强度加到法师的启蒙阶层上。

劇透 -   :

Flexible signature focus: A flexible signature focus adds its Force to your grade when increasing the threshold of observers’ Assensing (Astral + Intuition) tests.

灵活印记法器：当提高观察者的灵视（星界+直觉）检定阈值时，灵活印记法器能将该法器的强度加到你的启蒙阶层上。

劇透 -   :

Masking focus: When resisting someone else’s Assensing test, add the Force of this focus to your dice pool. It does not increase the number of bonded foci you can mask.

伪装法器：对抗他人的灵视检定时，伪装法器能将个数等同于该法器强度等级的骰子加入你的骰池。它不会增加你可伪装的联结法器的数量。

劇透 -   :

Spell shaping focus: Treat your Magic rating as if it was increased by the Force of this focus when determining how much you can shape your spells.

塑法法器：在决定你法术的可塑性时，你的魔法等级会被视同获得了等同于此法器强度的提升。

POWER FOCI
威能法器

劇透 -   :

Power foci live up to their name. They are very powerful foci that temporarily increase your effective Magic rating. That means they add to your Sorcery dice pools whenever you use that skill, along with any other test where Magic is involved. Power foci can take any form, but for some reason, rings and amulets are quite popular.

威能法器正如它的名字，是一种可以暂时提升你有效魔法等级的强力法器。这意味着每当你使用魔法技能时，它的强度等级能增加到你魔法检定骰池中，甚至是其他任何其他与魔法关联的检定骰池。威能法器的实体形态可以是任意的，但出于某种原因，戒指和护身符的形态特别受欢迎。

QI FOCI
气-法器

劇透 -   :

Qi (pronounced “chee”) foci only work for adepts. They channel mana into your adept powers. A qi focus can be an object, like other foci, but it can also be worked into a body modification, like tattoos, ritual scarring, and piercings. Each focus is specific to a single adept power at a specific level. While the focus is active, you get the power contained in it, or if you already have the power, the focus’ levels are added to your own (if it’s a power with levels, that is; otherwise there’s no benefit for you). The Force of the focus must be four times the Power Point cost of the power it holds, so a level 1 Improved Ability (Close Combat) qi focus is a Force 4 focus (since it costs 1 Power Points per level), while a Combat Sense focus is Force 2.

气-法器只能被修士所使用。它们能引导法力进入到你的修士异能中。气-法器可以是一件物品，就像其他的法器一样，但它也可以作为人体改造来发挥作用，比如纹身、仪式性伤口或者穿孔。每个法器都对应着一个特定等级的特定异能，当法器被激活时，你可以获得其中所蕴含的异能；如果你已经拥有此异能，那么在你的原有异能等级上增加该法器的强度等级（这是如果该异能有等级的话；如果没有，你将得不到任何好处）。法器的强度相当于其蕴含异能所消耗的能力点 ×４。即是说，等级１的【提升技能（近身格斗）】气-法器是一个强度4的法器（因为它每级要花费1点能力点）。而【战斗感应】法器是强度2。

SPELL FOCI
法术法器

劇透 -   :

Spell foci empower Sorcery. Each spell focus is attuned to rituals or to one of the five categories of spells (Combat, Detection, Illusion, Healing, and Manipulation) when it is created, and that category cannot be changed. There are four types of spell foci.

法术法器能够增强你的巫术技能能力。每个法术法器在制作时都与五种法术或仪式类别（战斗、侦测、幻术、生命和操纵）之一相协调，而且制作完成后类别就不能被改变。一共有四种法术法器。

劇透 -   :

Counterspelling: Counterspelling foci add dice equal to their Force to any Counterspelling attempt, as long as the countered spell is in the same category as the focus. It also adds its Force as a dice pool bonus when you perform the Boosted Defense form of counterspelling (p. 143).

法术反制：只要被反制的法术和法术反制法器属于同一个类别，法术反制法器就能添加等同于它强度的骰子到任何反制法术的尝试中。它也添加它的强度到你的法术反制的防御增幅检定的骰池上（第143页）。

劇透 -   :

Ritual Spellcasting: A ritual spellcasting focus adds its Force in dice to your Ritual Spellcasting Tests (whether you’re the leader or a participant). If the ritual isn’t a spell ritual, this focus can still be used, but if it’s a spell ritual of a different category than the focus, it can’t.

仪式施法：仪式法器能添加等同于它强度的骰子到仪式施法检定骰池中(无论你是仪式主持还是参与者)。即使该仪式并非是法术仪式，这个法器也能被使用，但如果这个法术仪式与该法器不属于同一类别，那么它就不能被使用。

劇透 -   :

Spellcasting: Spellcasting foci add their Force to your Spellcasting dice pool as long as the spell is in the same category as the focus.

施法：只要法术和法术施法法器属于同一个类别，施法法器就能把个数等同于该法器强度的骰子加入施法检定骰池中。

劇透 -   :

Sustaining: When you cast a spell through a sustaining focus, it sustains the spell for you, letting you avoid the dice pool penalty for sustaining a spell. A spell sustained by a sustaining focus cannot have a modified Drain Value (after adding any effects) greater than the Force of the focus, and the spell’s category must match the focus’s category. If a spell sustained by a focus is disrupted, it ends, but the focus is still active (and still bound to its owner), it’s just not sustaining a spell at the moment. A sustaining focus can’t be used to sustain a spell ritual.

储法：当你通过储法法器施放法术时，储法法器能帮你维持这个法术，让你免受维持法术带来的骰池惩罚。被储法法器所维持的法术的调整后的耗竭值（添加任何效果后）不能超过该法器的强度等级，并且该法术必须和储法法器属于同一流派。如果一个被储法法器维持的法术被打断了，那么该法术结束，但储法法器仍然保持激活状态（以及仍然和它的拥有者保持同调），它只是没有在维持法术罢了。储法法器不能被用来维持一个法术仪式。

SPIRIT FOCI
精魂法器

劇透 -   :

Spirit foci empower a magician’s conjuring skills. Each spirit focus must be attuned to a specific type of spirit.

精魂法器能够增强施法者的咒术技能。每个精魂法器必须调谐于一个特定种类的精魂。

劇透 -   :

Summoning: A summoning focus adds dice equal to its Force to summoning attempts as long as the targeted spirit is in the same category as the focus.

召唤：只要目标精魂和召唤法器的种类相同，召唤法器就能把个数等同于该法器强度的骰子加入召唤检定骰池中。

劇透 -   :

Banishing: The banishing focus gives the character a point of Edge if its Force is higher than the spirit’s Force. That point must be used on the Banishing test or it is lost.

驱散：如果角色的强度等级高于精魂的强度等级，则驱散法器就会给角色提供一点极限。这一点必须在驱散检定中使用，否则就会消失。

WEAPON FOCI
武装法器

劇透 -   :

A weapon focus always has, unsurprisingly, the form of a melee weapon (it cannot be a ranged weapon). It adds magical power to the melee attacks you make with it. When used in physical combat, it gives you its Force as a dice-pool bonus on your Attack test. You still rely on your physical attributes and skills in combat; the weapon focus merely makes you more effective.

并不意外地，武装法器总有一个近战武器的形态（不能是远程武器）。在你使用它时，它能使你的近战攻击被附上魔法的效果。当在物理战斗中被使用时，你的近战攻击检定能获得等同于它强度的骰池加值。当然，在战斗中，你仍然需要依赖于你的物理属性和战斗技能，武装法器只是让你变得更有效率罢了。

劇透 -   :

A weapon focus is effective against astral forms too, whether you’re using astral perception or projection. It adds its Force to your Astral Combat tests when you’re using it, and you can take it along while astrally projecting. The damage of the weapon in astral combat is the same as it is in the physical world, except that you can decide between Stun or Physical damage (Astral Combat, p. 160).

武装法器同样对星界形体有效，无论你是在使用星界投影或者星界侦测。在你使用它时，你的星界战斗检定能获得等同于它强度的骰池加值，并且当你星界投影时，你也能带上它。星界战斗中，它的武器伤害与凡界保持一致，但你可以决定做成晕眩伤害还是物理伤害（星界战斗，第160页）。
