The Star Ruby Spell Focus was created by a skilled dwarf artificer gemologist named Bromar Stonefist who lived in the mountains of the north. Bromar was known for his exceptional skill in crafting magical items, and he spent many years studying the properties of gemstones and their use in spellcasting.
One day, while exploring a deep cavern, Bromar discovered a rare and powerful star ruby. He immediately recognized its potential as a spellcasting focus and set to work crafting the Star Ruby Spell Focus. Bromar spent many months working on the focus, carefully engraving it with magical symbols and imbuing it with the power of fire.The Star Ruby Spell Focus quickly gained a reputation among the spellcasting community as a powerful and versatile tool. Many adventurers sought out Bromar to commission their own version of the focus, but he refused all offers, preferring to keep the secret of its creation to himself.
As the years passed, Bromar grew old and eventually passed away, taking the secret of the Star Ruby Spell Focus with him. However, the focus continued to be passed down from generation to generation, and its reputation only grew with time.
