Does Spell Focus (Abjuration) actually do anything? Does it affect the DC of a veil that an Initiate of the Seven Cheese puts up? Are there any Abjuration spells that allow saves?

Prismatic Wall, Prismatic Sphere, quite a bit of spells in non-core.

Does Spell Focus (Abjuration) actually do anything?Yes, of course. It acts as a requirement for Master Specialist, Initiate of the Seven Veils or Archmage (to name but three).

It also increases the DC of any saving throw made by a an Abjuration spell a creature casts.

Does it affect the DC of a veil that an Initiate of the Seven Cheese puts up?No. Why should it?

It affects the DC of spells the featholder casts. The I7V's Warding is an SLA, not a spell. Use of the SLA is not casting a spell, therefore Spell Focus does not apply.

Are there any Abjuration spells that allow saves?Yes there are. To the examples so far add Fire Trap.

Imprisonment and maw of chaos come to mind...

The various banishment spells against outsider foes.

So a few mid level spells and mostly higher level spells have saves in Abjuration. Guess I better start learning Banishment or something.
