Drains And Negative Values

[Brick]

According to the rulesbook on page 100, characters may use Drains repeatedly on the same target provided that the target still has points left to Drain in the Power or Characteristic. That sounds as if it is not possible to Drain somebody below 0 (no negative Characteristics). However, just below that line there is a rule for what happens to characters whose BODY is Drained to negative his starting BODY. This is, in my opinion, a contradiction. What is correct?

[Steve Long]

There's a Rules FAQ question on Draining into the negatives that should resolve the apparent "contradiction" for you. If that doesn't clear things up, please post a follow-up question and we'll get it all squared away.
