Actually Lorden, this topic was a massive argument on rec.games.frp.cyber
about 1-2 months ago concerning the wording of the rule concerning "Net
Force" for fetishes and the like. I have always interpreted it in such a way
that a fetish didn't actually change the force of a given spell, unless it
was designed that way specifically. Other people have taken it for the
direct wording in the text (BBB), which makes fetishes and the like really
overbalancing IMO.
