The previous wording "If a caster casts a spell" implies that the new spell being successfully cast is the trigger for concentration breaking on the previous one. but in my experience of patch 7, build ID 16065077, concentration breaks on the first spell before the next concentration spell is cast, because if breaking concentration causes lethargy, the next concentration spell fails to cast.

The new spell is successfully cast only ''after'' concentration breaks on the previous spell; for example, if the first spell was [[Haste]] and its caster was its target, then an attempt to cast another concentration spell first breaks concentration on haste, giving the caster the [[Lethargic (Condition)|Lethargic]] condition, which prevents the spell from being cast. | ||
