Focuses are given to the l'Cie through visions they must interpret to know what the mission requires them to accomplish. In some cases, the missions can be straightforward and involve killing a specified creature at a given location; in others, the l'Cie are given little or no information, and have to discover their Focus on their own. While a l'Cie is generally thought of as having a single specific Focus, it is possible for l'Cie to be created without one, whereupon the l'Cie instantly transforms into Cie'th.
