I can't seem to get the file in one piece :( When downloaded it claims it has unreadable content and rapes the data.

Did you use the link I posted yesterday? I deleted the previous versions.

Hmmm, I set up Focus Items to be specific to either Evocation or Thaumaturgy/Crafting and don't mix between the two. I'll reread Crafting on YS278-282 and see if I can improve the sheet.

That's not really the problem. The problem is that the sheet doesn't seem to want to let me use the focus slots I get from Evocation on Thaumaturgy and vice versa.

Sorry, I don't read that option in the text. According to YS278, Evocation Focus Items only work for Evocation and Thaumaturgy Focus Items only work for Thaumaturgy.

YS278, second column, 2nd, 3rd and 4th paragraphs, specifically the paragraphs that begin with and contain "For evocation focuses...." and "For thaumaturgy focuses...." and "Additionally, you must specify which type of evocation or thaumaturgy is enhanced by the item's bonus."

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Because I don't see how that page is relevant.

I think I can explain what I'm talking about better with an example. Look at Harry's example stats on page 67 of YS. Harry has Evocation, Thaumaturgy, and no Refinements. 3 of his 4 focus slots have been spent on Evocation foci. At least one of those slots must have come from Thaumaturgy.

The sheet should allow that.

Sorry if I was unclear earlier.

Ah, OK, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

I'll make the change in the next version and probably put that on the Wizard Info page.

Here's the updated spreadsheet with the combined Focus Items pool to draw from.

Download the zipped file from Google Drive.

Should I add it to the list now?

If there are no more corrections to be made in your opinion, sure. I think it works pretty well.
