Yep, you totally can respond to your own spells in Magic The Gathering. It's all about timing and the stack. You cast a spell, and before it resolves, you can cast another spell or activate an ability in response. This can let you set up some cool combos or just protect your spell from your opponent's responses.

Absolutely! Casting a spell doesn't immediately resolve it; it goes on the stack. This means you can respond to your own spells by casting instants or activating abilities before the first spell resolves. It's a great way to surprise your opponent or to make your spells more effective.

Nope, why would you? Just play your spells right the first time! (But yes, technically, you can respond to your own spells. Still, seems like overcomplicating things to me.)
