- **Cost:** Memory recall mode — minimal energy expenditure. Bracelet amber-red, reserves ~85–90%.
- **Flaw Sight used:** Enhanced recall only (bracelet focusing matrix sharpens imprints). No active observation.
- **Notes:** The Sniff parallel is explicit — binding salts (Ch03) → ghostveil moss is the same dampening principle scaled up. What Mere did intuitively on a simple working, they now need to do on a lethal three-layer structure. Compact suppression of ghostveil moss growth sites flagged as suspicious: same organisation that classifies curses as unbreakable also controls the countermeasure.
## Equipment: Focusing Ring (Carter's Custom Build)
- **Chapter:** Ch13
- **Builder:** Jonael Carterson ("Carter")
- **Origin:** Depth-staggering principle from Phelan's knife fix (Ch09). Carter applied the thermal distribution concept to a new form factor — a focusing ring as secondary anchor point for fire-weave projection.
- **Function:** Three staggered channel depths in spiral pattern. Convergence architecture at focal point on outer face. Fire-weave projects from ring's focal point instead of directly from hand. Secondary anchor refines and extends output — "clean output from dirty input."
- **Range improvement:** 5-6 feet (unassisted) → 15-20 feet (with ring). Multiplicative, not additive.
- **Limitations:** Don't push past 20 feet until practiced. Vibration in metal = convergence destabilizing, pull back immediately. Tolerance threshold on focusing channels.
- **Cost:** 12 silvers (materials only — store credit from Ch09 covered labor, Carter donated time as gift, credited technique to Phelan).
- **Notes:** Carter saw the neck wound scar from the Barrows crawler (Ch07/09) and built this without mentioning the scar. Competence expressed through craft. The ring changes Phelan's combat math significantly — the crawler got inside his guard because his range was shorter than its reach.
