I'm gonna need a bigger gun.

I'm pleased to announce that we have a new system in place for upgrading the spells you already know! This is a simple announcement for once, meant only to inform you of how easy it is to do this than before -

When you upgrade a spell, you only have to write the word difference between the levels of a spell. For example, learning a level 3 spell is 1500 words. Upgrading your level 1 spell to a level 3 spell is 1500 words - 500 words for learning a level 1 spell, making you need a total of only 1000 words instead. That means upgrading your spells a level at a time really isn't that bad

A word of caution though. If you upgrade all of your spells too fast... you may find yourself without some useful low mana cost spells to help you turn around a fight.
