Enhanced Articulation and Reflex Recorders add dice to skill test. They do not
increase the skill level of the character. As such the character can only add
6 dice (his skill rating) to the test from his combat pool.

Drain Resistance is a magic test, thus you can use your Magic Pool to resist
drain. There is not limit the number of dice from the Magic Pool that can be
used to resist drain, and there are NO modifiers to the drain resistance test.
