One way to have a character that casts large spells without getting knocked out in the standard system is to just have a high FP or ER score, assuming that the GM is willing to set a high enough cap, or just uncap it.
Of course 'casting a large spell will knock you out and may injure you' may well be entirely consistent with how the GM wants their setting to run.
