The increase in spell levels results in a variety of things. Soimetimes the
damages increases as is the case with fireball. sometimes the mana cost
goes down. With chain lightning the cost goes down and the effective
distance increases, but the spell damage remains constant. But in all
cases, increasing the spell level means good things for you. Read to the
max 15 levels. Then add an arch angels staff of some sort for another 2
levels to 17. Then add a thinking cap for another two level (19). Finally,
if you're really coordinated and skilled at this game, go for the Naj Light
Plate, which will add one more spell level to the ultimate max of level 20.
Personally, every time i use the naj plate i die because the armor level is
just too low. Going from 15 to 19 has an enormous impact. one fireball will
blow a succubi. going from 19 to 20 doesn't seem like that big a deal to
me. I would concentrate my resources on buiilding fireball and chain
lightning.to their max levels first.
