You are reading it wrong

As has been pointed out in this thread already a few times, a mage can use at most as many gems as he has levels in the path, and one of those gems can be used to increase his level. This is the way it has always been

The example you point to tells this very clearly. The mage is an Astral 2 mage who wants to cast an Astral 3 spell. As he is Astral 2, he can use 2 gems. He uses one to raise his level to 3, and then the other to reduce the fatigue. It is explicitly stated he can not use three or more gems because his original skill (ie without the gem "boost") is 2.

Well, yes, that's... what I'm saying and been saying all along ?

Are we in violent agreement, here ?

Nope, you said:

You can *not* gobble as many gems as you please to soak fatigue. You can only use at most as many gems as what your level is the path.
