So this is a very poorly constructed paragraph and I'm having trouble understanding it. It says [quote]"This process is the same except each hit...adds another owed task." It says nothing about net hits. Does that mean that once I register a sprite all of my success automatically translate into tasks?

From what I understand, it works the same as a spirit. You compile the rating X sprite, and you get say 5 successes. They rating X sprite rolls X dice and gets 3 successes, you now have 2 net tasks and roll your soak to try and wash away 6 damage.

You do not take fading (the techno version of drain). It says nothing along those lines. I read it pretty much line by line with summoning. They are similar but do have their differences.

Proably what they mean is this: when you bind a Sprite, you need to spend one net success in order to bind it. When re-registering it, you don't need that net, since it's already bound to you. So, all your successes in excess of it translate into extra tasks. This is pretty much how the spirit rules work. Oh, and you still take Drain.

Yes you do.

Wow. It would be nice if they put that in the description of registering. I love SR, but the books are very poorly organized.

This version is great! You should've seen the others. At least these two snippets are in the same book.
