Spells/Mage question.

I'm playing a whimpy Mage for the first time and so far so good. You save alot of $$$ with a Mage since he sits back and hits. My question is, how many spells can I learn, not carry in my book, but learn. I don't want to find out later that I can't learn that great Hypno spell because I'm over my limit on learned spells.

There is no limit to the spells you learn, only to the scrolls you can carry and still be able to buy new ones.
For the first time learn all spells so you can play with them. In advanced games learn only the spells you need because crystals might be a problem.

Not might, will. I can't stand playing against the Demonesses who can just transport your ranged troops into the middle of the opposing melee fighters regardless of leadership. So, mass Magic Shackles is the ticket - as long as you have those 20 crystals to spare. Just a small example.

Early game with the whole dragonfly wings trade, it's easy to get a feeling of abundance. But late game the crystal supply don't follow the cost increase of spells. So far when I'm not sure if I will need a new spell, I keep it as a scroll in my spellbook, as anyway you can learn it during a battle.

If I remember correctly you need 50 crystals to upgrade Armageddon from lvl2 to 3. It the most expensive I met so far.

I ran out the crystals late in the game. So make sure, do NOT scribe or upgrade unnecessary spells. For me, I did not get the "resurrect" spell until at Murok. And by that time, I didn't have enough crystals to upgrade it all the way to level III

Spells that are good to upgrade:

Fireball
Ice Snake
Firestorm
Sheep
Blind
Hipnotyze
Ressurection
Sacrifice
Slow (optional)
Pain mirror (optional)
Battle Cry (optional)

Also you need around 80 mana on impossible only, the rest should be bonuses from items, in the end you should have like 140 mana(with items) +6 regeneration each turn
