I seem to remember a rule where you can withhold dice from a spellcasting or power focus for use in drain resistance, but I can't find it in SR4A or Street Magic. Was that just SR3? I've been known to miss the obvious before, so I thought I should double-check.

[Edit:] Another stupid question - Do mentor spirit bonuses to spell categories include drain resistance tests? I know they include counterspelling, so it would make sense.
