okay, I think I am confused on the definition of an enchanted item then...is it just a one-purpose magical device that cannot be used a focus?
Enchanted items contain a spell for you to release / use at some later date. 

Foci are tools used to enhance your spellcasting.

That's the basic difference.  A few items, such as a Warden's sword, blur the lines between the two types.  But they're not exactly something every wizard should be capable of creating.   ;)
