Simultaneous casts are NOT supported by sorcery. They never have been. At one
point early in the addition of the locking stuff, only one cast was allowed
at a
time. This restriction was removed with the understanding that many people
might
like the ability to cast several things at once, and if people do silly
things,
they should expect silly results.

There are two choices, put that restriction back in, or don't do silly things.

Of course, there has been some work to revise how cast works by using more
locking... an interesting approach, but it's not even close to being ready for
testing. If fact, I haven't heard anything about this for a while. But it
would
support multiple casts.
