DFRPG / Re: Houserule proposal: first Rote spells in scene give no default stress

I have to disagree, four or five spells per scene is a ton. Plus, I've always felt like Harry just has multiple sources of "sponsored" magic to draw upon and permit more spell casting than your typical wizard. Mantle of the winter knight, demonsreach, soulfire, hellfire, etc. Not to mention the variety of enchanted items he uses. Just incur some debt to eat the stress and permit more casting. Harry also typically carries a gun or uses mundane attacks (fists and such) in combat. He isn't throwing spells all the time. Casting and spending that associated mental stress is something wizards should have to manage. The sponsored magic option provides a way to cast more frequently, but at a price.
Between enchanted items to create spell effects and sponsored magic, I've never felt a need to house rule further free casting or extra mental stress.
