For example, Fate 2 is all you need to cast "Exceptional Luck," which can give you the Steadfast Condition.
Steadfast lets you automatically succeed on a roll, even when you would fail... and that includes spellcasting rolls that you are taking huge penalties on. As you might expect, this can get stupid.
