Affording Newbie Spells?

[Aurra]

A lot of good advice here, thanks everyone.

I discovered the little gold mine of "large spiders" which have been dropping venom sacks for me worth around 5 gold, which has been helping a lot. I actually have enough spells to fill up my gem slots now, which feels great.

I'm level 6 now, and I'm thinking when I hit level 8 I'll start leaving Nektulos to explore the world and start grouping.
