I just remind my players that the bad guys follow the same rules they do. Mages might hold back for some spell defense for chummer-knows-who when another mage comes on scene. |

I talked it over with my GM and we'll be using the rule anyways as a house rule. He likes that it gives characters a reason to buy spells at higher forces. I like it because an enemy mage can't fry me by rolling a fistful of dice that I can't hope to match.
Can anyone see reasons why this would be a bad rule to adopt? Thanks, Chris |

Well, with focus addiction, it may make carrying sustaining foci more of a balancing act... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Another option to consider is that runners would feel slighted using a "legal" version of any spell (Rating <3). Make it so Fixers or Talismongers that don't ask questions only carry Rating > 4 (probably also a bigger profit margin for them too). |

Just a nitpick ... Legal is Force 2 and under with regards to anything magic. A permit is needed with anything 3 and over.
