What foci do bards use for the rituals?

The Elemental ones. In addition to the little bottle which has finite uses, there is the permanent staff. It is huge, fairly heavy, and sports all sorts of arcane magical symbols.

Which is why I use the little bottle of magic dust. :) My staff sits in my vault until I can have it altered into something that looks like a bard would use.

Just keep an eye on the uses. It is fairly inconvenient to need it during a crisis and remember you forgot to buy a new one...

Weird; I grabbed the elemental staff from someone randomly and couldn't use it.

Annnnnnnnnnnd problem solved. Thanks :)
(Young bard, no feats, forgot about that)

Making instrument foci is something we could do, the problem is they wouldn't be functional as an instrument - which I think would be confusing and disappointing to many.

A songbook?
Some nice, lovely, inspiring trinket?
A crystal to resonate with the music?

...no caffeine yet, that's as creative as my brain gets for now.
