As I recall, the Grimoire isn't really clear on that point, but to avoid
powermongers I suggest the following:

Karma cost is equal to the effective force of the spell. The spell is
more powerful, and therefore needs more power(karma) to anchor. So, in
the example, the karma cost would be 1 for the link + 6 for the force,
for a total of 7 karma.

The drain for casting the spell, would still use the base force, just as
in normal spellcasting.
