"And now, a Channel 6 editorial reply to Bruce."
] Just want to ask what you do when a magicker casts a D damage ManaBall
] spell.
]
] According to SR3 pg 181 the Drain is (Damage Level +1)

The Grimoire, 2nd Ed. has rules on creating spells. When
calculating what the Drain Code for a new spell is, it has
tables that say "if the spell does A, add one Drain Level.
If it does B, subtract 2 Drain Levels, etc." When the Drain
Level exceeds Deadly in this circumstance, the book says
to add 2 to the Power of the Drain for every Level above
Deadly Drain.
I'd apply the same ruling...if you casted a Deadly Damage
spell, the Power of the Drain would go up by 2. Sound
right?
