Spriggan Wizard skill strategy
Although this background is weakest in terms of blasting spells among other alternatives (FE, Co, VM) as a blaster you are going with Vehumet who a) gives you the book of Conjurations and b) gives you books that are not that great with FE and c) even if you want to go for Poison Arrow, there's no need to develop poison magic at the start.
Long term strategy is dictated by the spells Vehumet dishes out. In the first book, you get primarily ice/air conjurations, so that's what we'll head for.
So here's what I'm going for in terms of skill training:
- First train just conjurations. Magic Dart will be your main damage spell for a while and it starts out hungerless so the priority is to raise your damage output.
- At L2 memorize all the L2 spells, they're all good and you need them all to compensate for your MD being your only attack conjuration. Make sure to turn off all the new magic skills.
- Once MD is at ####. power, briefly train Spellcasting alone to get your L2 spells hungerless and until you have enough spell slots to memorize the two L3 spells.
- Once L2 spells are hungerless, leave spellcasting on and turn conjurations back on. Now we want all our spells to be hunger-free and we also want the L3 spells to gain some power and reliability.
- For stat increases, put at least two or three into Str for carrying capacity.
- Dive for the temple to get Vehumet piety as soon as possible.
- Don't branch out into any other magic skills until you get another book.
Does that make sense? Am I too obsessed with spell hunger?
