So how much FP, Energy Reserve, what size Powerstone/Power Item are you assuming here? Because two castings in a row sounds about the upper end of reasonable to me.
He was talking about a mage with 10 FP and Lockmaster at 15-. Lockmaster normally costs 3 FP to cast and can't be maintained. With high skill, cost to cast is reduced by 1 to 2 FP. If you have 10 FP, you can cast 5 spells that cost 2 FP each before reaching 0 FP. That's where he gets the five castings from.
