Psychic Spells with "DF" or "M / DF" components

[MrCharisma]

Hi all.

I just got back to playing my Occultist, and realised I don't know if I need some extra spell components. I apologize if this is written somewhere, but I couldn't find a rule, FAQ or thread about it.

TLDR: Do psychic casters use Divine Focus components?

GENERAL PSYCHIC CASTING RULES:
Psychic casters use Thought components in place of Verbal components and use Emotion components in place of Somatic componnents.
They ignore inexpensive material components. For expensive Material components can use any item with "significant meaning" and equal/greater value, eg. use an expensive wedding ring as a Material component for Raise Dead.
Psychic casters use Focus components the same way everyone else does.

QUESTIONS:

DIVINE FOCUS: Psychic casters don't use Divine spells, but some of their spells have Divine Focus components (Note that a Divine Focus is NOT the same as a Focus component according to the rules). Do Psychic casters use Divine Focus components? I can't find anything that says they don't, so I assume they do.

MATERIAL//DIVINE FOCUS ("M/DF"): Some spells are written with the components "M/DF". This means the Arcane version uses a Material Component, while the Divine version uses a Divine Focus component. Which do Psychic casters use (if any)?

FOCUS//DIVINE FOCUS ("F/DF"): Some spells are written with the components "F/DF". This means the Arcane version uses a Focus Component, while the Divine version uses a Divine Focus component. Which do Psychic casters use (if any)?

It begs the question of, “What would their divine focus be?”

Quote:

A divine focus component is an item of spiritual significance. The divine focus for a cleric or a paladin is a holy symbol appropriate to the character's faith. The divine focus for a druid or a ranger is a sprig of holly, or some other sacred plant.

There’s not a default divine focus option, so I don’t see how the psychic caster could be expected to use them. The only thing that might apply is this text for material components, but material components and divine focus components aren’t really the same thing

Quote:

When a spell calls for an expensive material component, a psychic spellcaster can instead use any item with both significant meaning and a value greater than or equal to the spell's component cost.

The medium’s hierophant seems to imply that you don’t normally use divine focus.

Quote:

This power functions as the archmage arcana spirit power, except that you add spells from the cleric/oracle list instead of the sorcerer/wizard list (these spells count as divine), and you need a divine focus if the spell requires one.

Yeah this is basically the conclusion I came to as well. Pointing me to divine archetypes helps though, I checked the Relequarion (divine Occultist archetype) and it points you to what to use as a Divine Focus.

I think Psychic Casters don't use Divine Focus components.
For "M/DF" they'd use Material Components if expensive (or ignore them if not).
For "F/DF" they'd use Focus components.
For "DF" they'd ignore them entirely.
