dont waste practice points on evocation. dump one or two points into it and
spend a night in a newbie area using the spell. it would be a waste to put
points into something that is easily raised by going out and casting it.

What is there to put the points into if not Evocation? Aside from 20 into
Jewel Craft as I have already primed it with one point, I will have 10
Training points to spend at 8th level.
What do we get that I would need to save the points for? After 8th, by the
time I hit 16th, I will have 60 more training points. And then until 20th I
can only spend 1 point in research at 16-19. I think this is correct.
I could prime my 1H Blunt and 2H Blunt, but I am waiting a bit on those as I
do not have either of those weapons yet. If I do change from piercing to 1H
or 2H Blunt by 8th I will still have 8 points to spend. Should I save them?

Bahir as of right now with Skill points (I hope the formatting doesn't get
messed up.)

1 Offence: Maxxed=15 for me (may be there already)
1 Defence: Maxxed=15 for me (may be there already)
1 Bind Wound no
(Cannot afford Bandages yet. Hehe. Plus never any Magicians around to summon
them anyway)

1 Abjuration 1st
1 Alteration 1st
1 Channeling no, but advancing nicely
