Going by SR4 p. 174, I thought that a spell sustaining penalty applied to everything you did while sustaining the spell, as it says "-2 penalty on all other tests."... but then I looked more carefully at the line before that... "Draining to the magical abilities." Some people here still say "-2 to EVERYTHING" though. So which is it? -2 to other spellcasting, summoning and the like, or -2 to everything you do? It'd severely reduce the usefulness of any buff spells if it was the latter... Increase Agility by 3, then take -2 to your Agility rolls.
