Yes, as soon as your character achieves a manifest level of 45 he can indeed spend the 45 points on a single manifestation of Force Screen to get a +5 bonus (1 point gets you +4, 44 points to get the remainig +11).

Callix 08-15-07, 08:33 AM	Yes, but was he burning 17th level spell slots to do it?

sijigs 08-15-07, 06:04 PM	Maybe he had a sentimental attachment to the spell... Hahah
