That wasn't my take on that particular line at all.  My 
understanding was that a person couldn't have two Blur 
spells active at the same time, but that they could have
a Blur spell on with a Stone Flesh, etc.

Blur is an active spell which reduces the character's 
probability of being hit, Dazzle reduces the attacker's
chances of hitting you (a fine line, but its there none-
theless), while Stone Flesh reduces the amount of damage
sustained once hit.  These are all different from each 
other and I see no reason why there couldn't be spells
which benefit a character from each of them.
