Just to bring this back to Consequences for a second, certain Stunts give you additional, one track only, Consequences.
The two I was able to find quickly are:
Resilient Self-Image: You may take two additional mild mental consequences
No Pain, No Gain: You may take two additional mild physical consequences
So a wizard with a Resilient Self-Image could take three mild consequences to power his magic. Four if he had a Superb Conviction.

Yeah, I've noticed that these have been changed, cause I keep hearing people say this.. The hard copy of the book as well as more recent PDFs have been updated, to show..
Resilient Self-Image: Your sense of self is strong, enabling you to endure more psychological punishment than most. When facing torture or other extreme interrogation techniques, You may take two additional mild mental consequences.
No Pain, No Gain has also changed. Just don't feel like quoting it at the moment, its been knocked down to a single mild consequence, and does not say in the stunt that it is stackable.
Something else of note, is that currently anyway, there are no cannon stunts that give you mental or social consequences, mild or otherwise. I'm actually very curious if they just didn't put them in place cause No Pain, No Gain set a precedent, or if they believe it has room for being broken in the system... I mean, every book does have to worry about silly problems, like word count... *shrug* I'd love a more official response to this, but I doubt my little old post will get any such attention...
