For the first 4 isles, the summon animal spell at level 3 is a great help since you have very low leadership and it basically enables you to easily do at least 80-90 no-loss wins before the spider.
After that, the spell will be useless - but still, getting order to level 3 at first is a good idea.
Then you should get the rune school to 3 and either concentration or the other one were you get mana from killing enemies because you will be low on mana easily.
Additionally, i want as fast as possible to the highest skill - the one that allows you to double cast each round - this is a great help - e.g. lay 2 traps at the first round to stop almost 50% of the enemies to make their move (non range units) - use the greed rage skill to stop another one
