Fast Casting in response to your own actions

I'll look out for that other thread again, but the wording on page 174 seems to suggest that a magus can manage a regular casting AND a fast cast spell in a round.

The wording is a little vague and I'd tend to apply the stated mechanics to the scenario; you can cast a normal spell and react with fast cast spells until you can't make the quickness roll.

The page 173 quote is the one I was referring to

The sentence

"Thus, a magus can not cast more than one normal
spell, or a fast cast and a normal spell in the same
round."

should be read as:

Thus, a magus can not cast:
A) more than one normal spell,
or
B) a fast cast and a normal spell in the same round.

Really Quick Fast Casting Questions (like lightning)

Someone in this thread performed the Rite of Ashk'Ente. The intent was that a magus could not cast a fast cast and a normal spell in the same round. However, I take the point that everyone would want to go last, so I suggest treating each character's round as starting immediately after their normal initiative point, when it matters. Thus, if you've cast a normal spell, and your turn has passed, you can cast a fast-cast spell, but you can't then cast a normal spell in the next round. Essentiall…
