Combine several cooldown speed-ups without making spells endless loops

A ring, a talent and a potion each shorten spell waiting times, and adding them up lets a clever player cast nonstop. A second trap waits when the bonus changes while a spell is still recharging. Here is a rule that stays fair in both cases.

Why this works

Every source cuts what the wait still has left, so each new one helps a little less, and a ceiling keeps the sum from reaching nothing. Treating a running wait as a share already done lets a bonus change halfway without a jump.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game where fast casting is the whole fantasy, or where every spell has its own resource cost that already limits it. There a hard ceiling only feels like a wall; let the cost be the limit.
