is there a limit to how many spells can be cast in one turn with the Magic Wand?

Hello there!!   I bought Talisman last night, and my 3 friends and I played it for the first time last night.  We really had a good time, but I have a question about casting spells with the magic wand.  My friend was casting like 4 spells in a turn with the wand. 

One of my friends is about to roll to move,

*casts immobalize*

*draws a spell*

*casts Random*

*draws a spell*

*casts random*  (ugh, we should have shuffled better ;)

*draws a spell*

Is this how the magic wand is meant to be used?  I couldn't find anything in the rule book that says this can't be done, but it seemed a little over powered to me, and I thought I would check w/ the pros to find out.  Thanks in advance for any help!!

'The maximum number of Spells a character may cast during his turn is equal to the number of Spells he had at the start of that turn. A character may only cast one Spell during another character’s turn. This does not apply to the Command Spell, however (see “The Crown of Command” on page 20).'

That is from page 13 of the rulebook. In your example, the player could have only cast 1 Spell that turn and a Spell must have an effect to be able to cast it. e.g. you can't cast Healing on a character with their full life value.

 Thanks so much man!!  It's my bad for missing it in the rule book (we were drinking a fair amount of beers).  

I appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me with a rule I missed due to careless reading.
