Actually in SR3 the force of this spell has no effect on what dice you roll.
You roll sorcery plus spell pool (up to your sorcery level). I don't recall
reading anywhere in the book that it was said that the force of the spell
dictated the maximum number of ones
that could be rolled. I agree about the dispelling aspect though.
