The cabalistic system of correspondences tends to lead to a tackle-box full of exotic substances (a dead giveaway if anyone who knows about this stuff searches your luggage), which may not be what Bill's after.
I think that starting with a coherent vision of how the character views magic should generate ideas for foci.
High formal Mind: a phrenologist's model head, a representation of Maslow's hierarchy, a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Numerical/probabilistic Mind: anything involving electronic neural networks, a set of NPC reaction dice.
