The way the rewrite goes, you don't add in the specialization bonuses until after you've made your "trades". So you can't trade that +1 Strength from your specialization (or focus item) in for frequency, you can only trade in the shifts of Strength you have in your base.

That makes sense, but I still don't know if I like the "devaluing" of the frequency specialization as it compares to the strength specialization that this implies (strength specialization raises Lore, while frequency specialization can reproduce only one effect of Lore (a sacrifice of one shift for additional uses)).

I don't know if I missed something, but don't the new rules kill the usefulness of the Frequency (Crafting) specialization for Thaumaturgy?  Why use Refinement to get a +1 to Frequency (which gives an additional use to each enchanted item) when one could get a +1 to Strength (which could be used to boost overall power for each enchanted item or be used to give one additional use)?  Shouldn't the Frequency (Crafting) specialization give 2 uses/+1 similar to the use of enchanted item slots?
