Foci

Foci

Thaumic Forever registers additional Thaumcraft focus nodes.

Focus element	Role
Calm	Suppresses aggression or calms affected targets
Cleanse	Removes harmful magical effects
Mind Control	Targets a hostile mob and forces it to attack a nearby living creature within a 10-block radius
Chain Flight	Suppresses a targeted player's existing flight permission for 200 ticks (10 seconds), forcing them out of flight until it is restored
Chain Lightning	Deals magic damage to the initial target, then jumps to the nearest living target within 3 blocks that has not already been hit; higher Power increases both damage and maximum jumps
Flight	Grants or drives flight movement
Explosion	Explosive effect
Blink	Short-range displacement
Sky Beam	Beam-style focus medium
Boost Power	Increases effect power at additional complexity/cost
Time Cooldown	Time-oriented focus modifier
Primal (Chaos)	Alternates between preparing and releasing a random valid chain containing one or two focus mediums and a random effect; the rolled settings and resulting spell can change after every cast
Primal Element	Applies Air, Earth, Fire and Frost effects to the same target in sequence; also adds Water when Thaumic Augmentation and its Water focus effect are available
Primal Rupture	Deals direct absolute magic damage to a living target, bypassing armor and forcibly applying the intended health loss through absorption or defenses that cancel ordinary attacks

Chain Lightning does not distinguish enemies from allies when selecting its next target, so it should be used carefully around players, pets and other friendly creatures.

Progression

Standard additions are spread through NEWAUROMANCY and its related entries.

The Primal category contains three independent focus researches: PRIMAL_FOCI, PRIMAL_ELEMENT and PRIMAL_RUPTURE. They are separate effects rather than stages of one research chain.

FOCUS_4 and FOCUS_5 (Blank Ultimate Focus) provide expanded complexity limits. Their configured defaults are 80 and 120 complexity respectively; pack authors can change both values in thaumicforever.cfg.
