As for Matts comments:
>> What force was the spell? Since you have 6 dice from the magic
>>pool and six from the force 6 *fetish focus* (reusable fetishes give only
>>1 die even under both editions of the rules) then the spell force must be 1.
Fetish Focus? When did he say Fetish Focus? He said Sleep (resuable fetish
force 6), I assuming meaning Sleep spell with max force of 6 using a resuable
fetish.

After seeing the post again, I would have to say: "Well duh!" I
mis-interpreted the meaning of what was being said. I thought I saw a typo
or a severe twisting of the rules when actually I just misunderstood the
meaning of the text.
[In Pee-Wee Herman voice] "My mistake!"

>>If you are playing with first edition SR then yes you can do this and your
>>mage is *VERY* powerful. If you are using second edition SR then you have
>>broken a rule: You can only add as many dice from your magic pool for the
>>success test as the force of the spell. If you are casting a force 1 Sleep
>>spell then you can only add 1 die from your magic pool. If you were to cast
>>a force 4 sleep spell then you could add 4 dice from your magic pool. This
>>area of the rules is what I like the most about how they have improved the
>>game with SR2.
Wrong! Go home and read your SRII page 85 Magic Pool. A magician can add
up to his Magic Attribute to a Magic Success Test. (Watch out for high grade
initiates!).

Wrong?!? I think I will go home and read the rules. I just
remembered that what that comment was baswed on was draft stuff pulled down
from GEnie when I lived with my roommate at the time. They may have
changed it. If I am wrong please forgive me. I see that my effort to help
has only created problems...
