Under Cyberzombie entry it says the personal "domain" of the CZ affects spells cast on,at and by the CZ.
Not really seeing rules for casting into Background count, just in it. So if caster is 10 meters beyond the effect of Background count and casts a force 6 spell. When it enters the Background Count of 4 does the force of the spell drop to 2 with cap of two success's? |
