But you have to score at least one success to learn the spell.
Sure, the base time for a Force 60 spell is two months, but I'd like
to see ANYONE (and that includes Dunky & Harley) hit TN#120.
You are correct about Intelligence, though. It is a Sorcery Test,
using Magic Background as a Complementary Skill. An instructor
can also add dice to the test.

Not to be rude, but you need to read all the rules. We all make
mistakes, especially when it comes to something as complex as
Shadowrun.
