Correct. But you can cast the spell into the focus at a lower force rating
if you want.

Yup, that's correct.

Correct again.

there is no more grounding, however any mage can now dispell...but yeah,
that's not as bad as worrying about be grounded through.

No, when you are raising skills it is based on your unaugmented Attribute.

>btw is karma cost for things rounded up or down?

I believe there is no universal round up or round down...but that the
description of the use of karma at the time will tell you round up or round
down...you might want to check out some of the Errata sheets as well (go to
FASA's page and then go to the SR3 page and you'll find a link to the errata).
For improving skills for example the text says Round Down.

>That all, thanks for your patience if these are stupid questions.

Hey...didn't you learn in school...no question is a stupid question... (:
