Because such items need to be specially designed to behave as foci, and an item you find may not have been designed for that purpose. | |

Not only are none of them listed as foci, but does it make any sense for a wand of the war mage to give you bonuses to spellcasting, but still require a seperate arcane focus to actually do the spellcasting? | |
