Multi-Cast Arcane Bolt/Mystic Shield

[Tittliewinks22]

My group just got our first 3.0 game in and we thought you could cast these two spells multiple times a turn, but we could not find a reference for it in the core rulebook.  Could someome assist in providing reference?

 

Thank you

19.1 CASTING SPELLS In your hero phase, you can attempt to cast spells with friendly Wizards. You cannot attempt to cast the same spell more than once in the same hero phase, even with a different Wizard. In order to attempt to cast a spell, pick a friendly Wizard, say which of the spells that they know will be attempted, and then make a casting roll by rolling 2D6. If the casting roll is equal to or greater than the casting value of the spell, the spell is successfully cast.

No where does it say Arcane Bolt / Mystic shield can be cast more then once.

This is the conclusion we're sitting at as well, but seeing FB/warcom and other groups saying stuff like Nagash casting 8 arcane bolts and such had us head scratching.

If you take a look Nagash's warscroll it specifically states he cast multiple Arcane Bolts in one turn (This was FAQ'd to only allow to cast multiple Arcane Bolts, as opposed to multiple Arcane bolts & Mystic shields). Arkhan the black a similar where he can cast multiple Mystic Shields & Arcane bolts in the same turn, even it had already attempted to be cast by another wizard. 

You can't try and cast the same spell more then once per phase, including if the spell fails to cast or is unbound. Anything that lets you attempt to cast a spell that has previously been attempted to have been cast in the same phase by another wizard will be a rule on a warscroll, allegiance ability, command ability etc.

Multiple castings of arcane bolt is specific to Nagash and Arkhans warscroll. It used to be the case that they could also cast multiple mystic shields but that has since been removed as the function of mystic shield has changed.
