"At the end of the crafting time, it is time for the truly tricky part of the process: invoking the power of the focus. Make an Enchanting + Magic vs formula Force + telesma’s Object Resistance. This counts as the culmination of all your work over the days, and you can’t use Edge for this test. Your net hits from this test, if you succeed, become the actual Force of the focus."
Another "strange thing": you have Magic 6 and are working with a Force 4 formula to make a focus. You get 5 net hits from the Enchanting + Magic vs formula Force + telesma’s Object Resistance roll. The resulting Focus has Force 4 or Force 5?

Rules would be 5 I think but yeah 4 makes more sense to me.

Yeah that’s one I expect to be changed. As it would then make sense to always low ball your formulas.

There are definitely a few places in which prior edition rules got taken out only partially so there are little dangling bits of rules that don't entirely function. The intent for force of the formula to limit how many hits you can count (as it worked in SR5) seems clear since there is no reason to use higher-force formulas with the mechanics as-written otherwise.

I hated that limit in 5e. It should be NET hit limit for predictability.

Then the formulas shouldn’t have a rating or the rating should be bonus dice on a test.
