100% New EQ player needs guidance

[Zabulius]

I am an MMORPG vet who started playing other first gen games around 2000 like Asheron's Call and Dark Age of Camelot. Have heard nothing but good things about this server so decided to try it out. I started an Erudite Magician and am running around Erudin with not much of a clue what to do. I found my trainer, but how do I acquire spells or items to even start killing mobs? And where do I go for that matter? Any beginner guides you would direct me to? Thanks for your help.
