What happens when you use your Arcane focus?
Your arcane focus will never be used up.

Can a warlock take an arcane focus in RuneScape?
Reading through the Player’s Handbook, I’ve noticed that the Sorceror, Warlock and Wizard classes can all take either an arcane focus or a component pouch.

How much does it cost to learn a spell?
Spells cost 50 GP/level when learning spells that require costly material components (e.g. find familiar ). Spells cost 0 GP/level when learning spells whose material components are substituted by an arcane focus (e.g. feather fall ).
