Pardon me, but you have the look of a craftsman. Are you a woodworker, perchance?
My young apprentice Genver struggles to complete his spells, and so I thought to help him by providing him with a staff he could use as a magical focus. Many beginning mages find such items helpful to their concentration.
Would you be willing to craft a simple Maple staff and give it to my young apprentice? I am certain he will be grateful for the item.
