When rolling to encounter these spaces, are we basing the Strength/Craft solely on original values or with all modifiers/cones? Too many interpretations to get a definitive answer.

It's simple - your total stat. Just do not count modifiers that are used during fights (like +1 from a sword)

So would that also apply to cards drawn that say to roll against Strength/Craft? Or to roll a die(dice) and modify the roll by Strength/Craft? Basically using the original value plus cones and non-combat modifiers?

The rule is your Strenght/Craft without spell modifications is alsways whatever u have in cones + stats given from objects + stats given from followers which does not say if in battle or psycic combat.

For example if I have 5 craft cones (craft value + additional cones gained) and the Ring object which give +1 to strenght&craft AND Unicorn follower which gives +1 strenght/craft I have a total of 7 Craft

Then it doesn't matter if I also have a wepon which gives +1 craft, that is only valid in psycic combat.

Actually Spell modifications can count to the total Strength or Craft, just not items that count for battle or psychic combat!
