Four stars.

Grants Focus equal to orb types in your slots times 2 for that turn. The upgrade removes Exhaust so it becomes repeatable.

With 3 types, +6 Focus; with 4 types, +8 Focus — a major temporary power spike. On Evoke turns, the damage or Block spikes dramatically. Decks with lots of varied orbs from Rainbow or Chaos get the most. The upgraded version without Exhaust is especially valuable since you can reuse it.

• Strong in decks with many orb types
• Play just before Evoking several orbs to maximize Evoke damage
• Rainbow into Synchronize is a +6 Focus combo burst
• Upgrade to remove Exhaust for reliable per-turn Focus boosts

• Rainbow: Exhausts to channel Lightning, Frost, and Dark at once. Combined with Synchronize yields +6 Focus
• Chaos: Random channel contributes to orb type variety
• Dual Cast / Multi-Cast: After Synchronize boosts Focus, Evoke for massive damage
• Capacitor: Expands orb slots to help hold many types at once
• Defragment: Stack with permanent Focus to sustain a high-Focus state
