6E Mage progression
funkytim:
What is everyone doing to advance their mage for 6E? After finishing two runs I want to head straight for quickening so I can magically boost my willpower and logic without having to cast and suffer drain before a run. I'm finding drain to be very annoying with 11 dice to resist even with casting DV3 and DV4 spells.
Stainless Steel Devil Rat:
Bonding some foci might be a good first step. That's the most karma-efficient way to get more dice to do the things you do.
funkytim:
That would boost the dice pools I get to cast the spells. As far as I can tell there is no foci that helps with drain. There is a metamagic foci but you would need to get the centering metamagic first.
Do power foci increase your magic attribute when calculating indirect spell damage? I think it did in older versions of the rules but doesn't seem like it's worded that way in SR6.

No, Power Foci do not actually modify your Magic attribute. It only gives bonus dice to tests where Magic attribute is rolled.
