The way the rules I've suggested are currently set up, you might get a
couple more services or slightly lower drain, maybe both. I'm working
right now on test rolling dice for each of the five magical archetypes
from SR2 (Combat Mage, Shaman, Street Shaman, Street Mage, Former Wage
Mage) and for a Force 5 and Force 3 spirit. So far, most haven't even
been capable of staging down the drain (and the only ones that have (the
Shaman and Street Shaman) wouldn't have taken drain worth worrying too
much about anyway). I've finished up the rolling under standard rules,
I'll get the rolls for my house rules here finished and post my results.
