The rules state that for each power a character he/she has active a penalty is applied to future arcane skill rolls. So that includes multiple castings of the same power right? In other words if someone used the boost power on an ally, and maintained it, and wished to boost him/her even further, and maintain it, each additionally maintained use of the boost power would increase the penalty to arcane skill rolls?

To be clear, it's each power that is maintained not each power that is active; two different things (a power is maintained only after its initial duration is up).

That said, each power maintained does indeed count multiple uses of the same power separately. So a character who had 3 Boost Traits maintained would be -3 to arcane skill rolls.
