I wanted to say, this is what I've decided about Iron Shot vs. Crystal Spear.
For most things I prefer Iron Shot. It's way cheaper, especially in terms of food (for me right now Iron Shot has no food cost, while Crystal Spear is worth #####.) and does almost as much damage.
However, for things that are really important, like taking on Pan Lords or the enemies in Zot:5, Crystal Spear is superior. Against an Ancient Lich my Crystal Spear kills them in two hits, while Iron shot kills in 3 or 4, and with an enemy as dangerous as an Ancient Lich that can mean a lot.
Basically, I would say that Iron Shot is better as a common use spell, but when it really matters Crystal Spear is the way to go.
Also, I'm currently at 24 Conjurations and 27 Earth Magic, so yeah.
