The Grimoire page 44: "Use the same target number for this Centering Test
as for the Magic Success Test, using all the penalties applicable to but
subtracting the magician's grade from the modified target number."
When centering for extra spells successes or against drain, this modifier
isn't mentioned, but for centering against penalties it's clearly in the
book.
