I thought you can only use centering to help with using the sorcery skill..
I remember it does say you can use centering to help resist the drain for
summoning watchers, but can you use centering to help with conjuring? I
thought the big deal with conjuring is you can't use anything but your
conjuring skill, spirit foci, and charisma.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
