Some items in [[dNethack]] can be used as '''spellcasting focuses''', increasing the success rate of spellcasting while wielded. Some focuses increase the success rate of all spells, while others are limited to associated spell schools.

=== Non-artifact Focuses ===

*'''Khakkharas''' improve the success rate of cleric and healing spells. In the hands of a [[Priest]] or a [[Monk]] they improve the success rate of all spells.
*'''Bells''' improve the success rate of cleric and healing spells. In the hands of a [[Priest]] they improve the success rate of all spells.
*'''Scalpels''' improve the success rate of healing spells.
*'''Crystal balls''' improve the success rate of divination spells.
*'''Quarterstaffs''' improve the success rate of attack spells.
*'''Shepherd's crooks''' improve the success rate of enchantment spells.
*'''Athames''' improve the success rate of attack and enchantment spells.
*In the hands of a [[Wizard]] '''Wands''' improve the success rate of all spells.

=== Artifact Focuses ===

*'''The Tentacle Rod''', '''Aryfaern Kerym''', '''Profaned Greatscythe''', and '''Garnet Rod''' improve the success rate of all spells.
*'''The Death Spear of Vhaerun''' improves the success rate of attack spells.
*'''Callandor''' improves the success rate of all spells, but only for characters that began the game as males.
