Yes, but orichalcum is made up of soft metals. It's not made to punch through anything.
Whether it's mixed into the blade, inlaid, or whatever, it's not going to assist in
helping penetrate hard materials (that's what dikote is for). Heck, cruel GMs could even
rule that using a weapon foci for such could damage the orichalcum and ruin the magical
enchantment gained by the focus. (heh) IIRC, weapon foci only increase skill (by adding
dice), not the actual damage code. While this causes you to do more damage, it doesn't
increase the power level directly - which would be required if you wanted to damage
barriers more effectively.
