If your spell is tagged with an "M" under the Components Label in the Spell Description list you either need your focus (Whatever it is) or the actual materials listed. If the materials have a cost, you need the materials and a focus won't do.<br/><br/>For Zhandi. Fog Cloud and Thunderwave are Verbal and Somatic, meaning she needs to speak and move but doesn't need a holy focus. Healing word is just verbal and the only spell she can't cast right now is Bless, which needs her holy symbol or a pinch of Holy Water for it to work.<br/><br/>So bringing the thunder is an option!<br/><br/>Most low level spells don't need materials, meaning you're not completely screwed if you lose your focus.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=246524.msg12205658#msg12205658">Quote from: TheFourthShade on 02-04-2016, 12:20:13</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I didn't know you actually took the knife from me.  That means Hild doesn't get it.<br/><br/>My mistake.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>She didn't, Zhandi has a Kitchen Knife she stole, you've got a flint knife so the post was still fine!
