Let's say that two of the Orcs attack but the other takes the Wait manoeuvre and will attack if the mage casts another spell.
The mage's second turn, he casts another 1 second spell. Before he finishes his turn, the Orc that Waited gets to attack. The other two Orcs do not.

Yes thank you but my issue is this, a Turn is a second of time. Therefore in TURN 1, if the Mage concentrates it will take the FULL Turn to concentrate right? Well sandwiched in that second is everyone else that has their attacks. Therefore while he is concentrating, other peoples actions are happening all around him. He in concentrating, the orcs are charging, an orc is readying an arrow, the mages partner is rushing the orcs, and so on. So while the Mage in concentrating on that 1 turn spell, he may have an orc swinging a sword at him because that orc was right after his initiative, right?
Below are two examples, how would they work then?
TURN Initiative Person Maneuver
TURN 1 9 Mage Concentrate of ARMOR
TURN 1 7 Orc Attack with Sword, in melee
TURN 1 7 Orc Atack with thrown knife, 20 years away
TURN 1 5 Orc Attack with thrown spear, 20 yards away
TURN Initiative Person Maneuver
TURN 1 12 Orc Atack with thrown knife, 20 years away
TURN 1 9 Mage Concentrate of ARMOR
TURN 1 7 Orc Attack with Sword, in melee
TURN 1 7 Orc Atack with thrown knife, 20 years away
TURN 1 5 Orc Attack with thrown spear, 20 yards away
