[AreaOfEffect]

-Study the many magic spells in the game. Knowing the spells will have immediate results.

-You can display spells of a specific skill by pressing a single letter while studying the spell list. Press 'f' for fire, 'a' for air, 'w' for water, 'e' for earth, 's' for astral, 'n' for nature, and 'd' for death. Press the letter again to see all the spells. This will help narrow your reading.

-Spells of particular interest are those that boost your skill in battle, such as Summon Earthpower and Phoenix Power. Nearly all of these spells can be found in conjuration 3 or 4. They are important as they increase the spells available to you. However, it's best to research these spells after you have something worth while to cast.

-Try not to use alchemy in a MP game. If the game is large enough, then you can almost always make even trades for gems you want or sell your gems off for much more money. Besides, making trades is the first step to establishing good relations with your neighbors.
