Back when I did the Protection and stat raising spells, Frank modified them 
so that only one effect was active at a time. This was to prevent people from
being able to hyper-improve themselves with lots of raise stat and Protection
spells. It is a good idea from a game-balance point-of-view, but somewhat 
annoying from a player's point-of-view. A set of spells I plan to write is 
"Binding" I, II, III, IV, V which will let you cast more than one Self spell
at once (ie Binding I lets you have two Self spells active at once).

Yes, it is rather bogus.
