Great Haste and Prerequisite Count

Why has Great haste a prereq. count of 6?

The only spell required is Haste, with a count of 0. Error or do I
misinterpret the count?

It's because of an optional rule that got used in some of the counts on the
chart. Magery 1 counts as a prereq. IQ 12 counts as 4 because it is a 40pt
advantage.

Kromm has at least indirectly addressed this in the forums as sjgames.com

Personally, I'd give it 2 prereqs. One for the Haste spell, and one for
Magery 1. Strictly by the book, however, with all options "off", Great
Haste should have a single prereq.
