Adepts & multiple spell use

The Heroquest rules regarding Adepts seem to have an explicit contradiction that I've only recently noticed.

On p164 we read that "An adept can cast a spell at any time, using it as an active ability or an augment. Since each spell has its own rating, even multiple spells from the same grimoire can be used to augment a single other ability or each other".

Confusingly, this seems to be contradicted on the same page, in the very next section, regarding Grimoires: "An adept cannot use multiple spells from the same grimoire to augment another ability or each other".

Which statement is correct?

I'm inclined to go with the first one, because it is consistent with my overall concept of adepts as dedicated magical specialists: confined to a relatively narrow field of expertise, but at a powerful advantage within that field.
