1. What do you roll when using the Magic Sense adept power for Street Magic p178?
QUOTE
Treat this power as the Detect Magic spell (p. 199, SR4), with a Force equal to the adept’s Magic.

This is an active detection spell, so magic+spellcasting vs. willpower or force. But what does an adept (i.e. no spellcasting) roll? Magic-1?

2. Where does the force=magic come into play (since range is said to be magicx10 meters)?

3. Must the adept resist drain afterwards?

4. Is this power automatic or do you have to actively using it.

Force equal to adepts magic rating

Dicepool = Perception Test

Perception test seems a good solution (house rule?), but what is the force for?
pbangarth
Force limits successes in spellcasting, so probably that is its effect here.

And what about spirits? On the one hand Street Magic states "The adept can sense magical activity on the same plane." and on the other "Treat this power as the Detect Magic spell"
