Answer

Ruling: You can hold priority and play multiple cards in a row, but only Reactions. If you want to play multiple Actions, each must resolve and your opponent will get Focus in between.

Sequence:

  • When you have priority, you can cast a Reaction
  • Hold priority to respond to your own spell on the chain (it hasn't resolved yet)
  • Cast another Reaction
  • Repeat as desired before passing priority
  • Note: You can opt to play Reactions as Actions if you want

Nuances:

  • Focus is the permission to play Actions in a showdown and to start a chain
  • Priority is the permission to play Reactions onto an existing chain
  • Focus passes when a chain fully resolves or a player with focus passes on an empty chain
  • Exception: In combat, after the initial chain (where "When I attack/defend" triggers are handled) resolves, the attacker retains focus rather than it passing
