A magus using magic in combat determines his Initiative with Quickness - Encumbrance + Stress Die (p. 174).

Fast Casting is explained on p. 83 and can allow actions outside of Initiative order. Fast Casting in response to an opponent's action in combat needs a Quickness + Finesse + Stress Die against that opponent's Initiative, or comes too late.

Does this help?

Kind regards,

Berengar
