I think Magic Spring is needed for Impy's strategy, but nothing is needed except Phoenix for the one I posted.
In fact, the Phoenix strategy is much easier since you can get it to level 2 when you reach level 4. Since I defeated both Elves and Humans with Phoenix level 1, level 2 will be no problem.
Clarissa's reward is a level 1 / 2 distortion / chaos spell so it has a lot of variability due to that. I have not found the Ore Cart variability list, yet, but it seems to be limited to:
Money
A Rune
An Item
A Spell (of level 1 up to it seems level 4)
Crystals
So that seems like it would have a lot more possibilities, although, I think it is the same chance for each of the above, and then there is variability within each category.
