B2 mage can't cast Life for a Life?

I find that mages often won't cast spells that would give the mage more than 200 fatigue in one shot. Life for a Life is 199 fatigue, and then spellcasting fatigue is added in, so you are looking at more than 200.

People have tried to tell me differently, but my experience with casting Blood and high-path Air spells has shown this to me over and over.
