MAGIC TIPS

Keep practicing at every available opportunity. 

For users without any MANA, find an item which will start you off with a few
points.

Always keep a spell in reserve and when your MANA bar reaches full capacity,
cast the spell and immediately recite another spell but don't cast it.

You don't have to find a spell scroll to actually know a spell, so high level
spells are available to novices.

Even if a spell is unsuccessful, the experience gained still counts towards
your next skill level.

Rather than cast a meaningless spell, recant the incorrect symbol(s) and 
recite the correct one(s). Meaningless spells don't count towards experience.
