Does Background Count make your spirits dumb?, "Durr, astral radiation make Fire Spirit think like Krunk"... Options

Mana Static is a spell that creates Background Count, right? Background Count makes that the Force of Astral Beings gets reduced, is that also true? The mental and physical stats and the skills of an astral being is determined by its Force. So, when a Spirit enters a place with Background Count (not aspected toward the tradition the Spirit hails from), do his skills and his mental attributes reduce too, because his Force Attribut go down? Or do they still stay the same. Like, what's the stats for a Force 6 Spirit of Man, for example, if he happens to be in a Background 4-place?
Are his spellcasting skill and his mental and physical attributes still the same with exception of the Force-attribut? Or do they all get down, so that he gets doubly penalized for his spellcasting skill (which does use Magic = Force as Added Attribut Dice-Pool), and he suddenly becomes as dumb as the morons at Box Networks from Futurama?
