Normally, if you have a spell restricted with a fetish, you can't cast the spell at all without your fetish. Instead of that, I'd like to simply make casting the spell much worse than if you didn't have the fetish, but still make it possible. Here are some ideas:
  • A penalty to drain resistance tests (-4?)
  • Increased drain code (double?)
  • A penalty to Spellcasting tests (-4?)
  • A limited application of the "cursed" negative quality from Street Magic (basically, it works like gremlins)?

Do you think it's better off the way it is, or do you think it's okay with one of the above ideas?
