Focus item

Basics
Focus items are secondary weapons (sometimes called the "off hand") that increases the equipped character's maximum energy, between 3 and 12. They may also have other modifiers. Like all weapons, middle to high end focus items have minimum requirements in certain attributes for the primary stat (energy). If the character's rank in the required attribute is even one less than the requirement, a lower value is used for the respective stat. This value is 3 energy for white or blue focus items and 6 energy for purple or gold ones. There are also non-attribute Foci in Factions, which are not tied to any attribute, and have not yet been observed to have any more or less than +6 energy.
