pg 56 of Awakenings "The only [adepts] that I know of who can [make their
own foci] are those few magical adepts who specialize in enchanting, and
they can do it every bit as well as a mage or shaman."

Enchanting rules were in the Grimoire so why would enchanting adepts be
in the BBB. I don't recall any stats for making an Enchanting Adept but
if they're out they are probably in Awakenings ...

If Astral Sight is needed for enchanting, Then I'm sure Enchanting Adepts
(Enchanters) can use it. However, what about Astral Projection? It's
not neccissary unless you want to make a spirit focus for a free spirit
and can't get (or don't trust) someone else to get the true name for you.
