About inclinations - stuff related to Ghost's detailed testing is mentioned/linked to in the notes at Pawn_Inclination_:_Under_the_Hood - its not in detail in the wiki because it's not been confirmed, and mostly because it's just really complex information that a lot of the time doesn't particularly help players..

The info is summarized really briefly - mostly at Pawn_Inclination - however some of the detail is missing because attempts to confirm it have been inconclusive.

My testing (on console, limited elexir use) turned up a few thing :
 * When two inclinations compete (eg Scather/Challenger in battle against Scather/Challenger enemies) - the higher inclination completely overrides the lower
 * When secondary inclination allow an alternative action eg loot instead of fight, heal instead of fight etc both may happen
 * I couldn't find any evidence of third inclination having any effect - for both combat (eg Scather) and other inclinations (eg medicant) - I think I was able to show that scather at 3 does nothing obvious.

I did my tests with Neutralising Elxir then just 2,1,1 of each potion.

About focused bolt - I don't get damage numbers for any human (guards, bandits etc) in cumulative damage on my version. Also holy focused bolt is a really pain to test as usually hits multiple foes - I assume that unencahnted focused bolt should act the same (or is this unique effect for holy) - it would be easier to test vanilla bolt.
