Rulings

(10/4/2004)
When Arcane Laboratory enters, it will look back over the turn to see if any spell was cast before it entered the battlefield. It will notice itself being cast.
(10/4/2004)
If a spell is countered, it still counts as the one spell cast.
(10/4/2004)
When it leaves the battlefield, the effect ends and all players are able to cast spells unrestricted again.
