Survey sats: BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTT..
Read any, ANY example of someone casting a spell in SRI, SRII, or
Grimthingy. ALL of them say "Blah puts x amount of magic pool dice to
resist drain, and rolls f+(mp-x) dice for the spell..."

Besides, resisting drain IS a magic related test: the test to see whether
or not you DIE from using magic!

rolled 2 12's.....
