    Forgive me if this has been asked before (still new to TAKP). Was wondering why my mage damage shield was lasting so much shorter than yesterday... turned out I just forgot to equip my summoned focus items... after some experimentation:

    Level 8 Shield of Fire cast by my level 15 magician lasts about 1:30 unfocused
    (sounds about right: Duration: 8 ticks @L8 to 6.5 minutes @L65 on that spell)

    But it lasts about 7:30 focused with a summoned Tavees Linen Mantle
    (sounds right in a different way: that's the 6.5 minutes extended by 15% duration focus)​

    I can't remember if it used to be that way. Hmmm. Is that working as intended (would be a nice extra effect on those focus items :))? Or worth posting a bug?

    (I searched before writing this, and found the consolidated focus effects bugs thread, but that quirk wasn't mentioned there. If bug, I would amend that thread. Just asking quickly before I do so... did I mention I'm still fresh to the server? ;))
