Focus Magic is a level 30 Mage talent.

It gives a single target at a time 5% increased chance to critically hit with spells only. When the target critically hits with a spell, the buff's caster also gains 5% increased chance to critically hit with spells during 10 seconds.

Notes

The buff-granted effect will stack with the proc-granted effect, so you can have it cast on you and cast it on someone else to gain a total 10% spell critical strike chance. It cannot, however, be self-cast.
It can be casted on friendly NPCs. It is useless, however, because NPCs can't score critical hit with spells.

-==Tips and tactics==
-This is the single raid buff the Arcane tree gives to the Mage, and while it may seem weak in comparison to the other trees' [[Improved Scorch]] and [[Winter's Chill]], it has merit in that it stacks with every single other raid buff and makes the Arcane Mage a more desirable choice than a Mage of another specialization when either of those buffs are already present in a raid (given equal skill/gear/spec dedication).
 ==Notes==
-The buff-granted effect will stack with the proc-granted effect, so you CAN have it cast on you AND cast it on someone else to gain a total 6% spell critical strike chance. It cannot, however, be self-cast.
