The reason for the TN on weaving being 6 or Force (the higher one) is that I
basically didn't want it to be too easy. Most people that I know (including me)
usually will take a lower force spell for drain purposes when that spell is not
resisted against - ie Invisibilty, illisions, detections, barriers. You tend to
take less drain, and the points you loose from force are often made up by taking
them from your magic pool dice you would have used to resist drain.
