Of course, this is that way only because I have to have every spell encountered in my spellbook, but on the other hand I level up only spells I use. And I use lots of spells.

That's a lot of crystals to use early on. I am a little surprised you've used them up all ready with just order Magic. Helplessness, dispel (level 1, maybe level 2), healing maybe, Phoenix perhaps?

I'm almost at end of game, and couldn't quite afford to learn all the new spells, but then again some look absolutely terrible (The spit one for instance, which does fixed after effect damage... maybe it was good at level 1).
