Basically, the restraints present in using magic is the time it takes to cast one spell and the psions needed to cast the spell. Aside from that, magicians can cast anything as long as their CADs can keep up and they know what they are casting.
The stated restraints in Mahouka have been the individual's magic power(measured by one's speed, scale and strength for using magic). Some spells are single use and some are sustained. Both use up the psions the magician has naturally gathered throughout any resting period, and sustained spells naturally use them up faster.

But this world's setting isn't an actual video game, magic is a science that uses advanced technology to make the casting process more efficient. These people have actual peaceful day Jobs as Magic Technicians where they might have to use their magic all day.
