While LOCK is actually intended to be more effective than they made Focus1 in the Origins version of the game, due to a bug the Spell always misses. Give this one a pass.

The effect of Focus2 stacks with the effects of Focus1 as well as itself.
Focus2 is a much better version of Focus1, because it hits all targets. This makes it less of a boss Spell and more of a useful debuff for a group of evasive enemies. Unfortunately there are very few situations where you'd rather use this Spell than Fire2 or Bolt2. It's an interesting idea, but generally if you really need to lower an enemy's Evasion, Focus1 will do the trick, and without wasting an otherwise useful Spell slot.
