I don’t think it is a case of stupid spells it is more like the game forces you to make choices about which spells you want to take to level 3 because you cannot have them all. I like having lots of strategic options and I only upgraded spells I actually use to level 3 but I’m having a big crystal shortage this time around. Are there less crystals on hard?
I maxed out alchemy right after I achieved all three magic schools but I'm still out of crystals. The 15 from the turtle is only enough to take one of several expensive spells from lvl 2 to lvl 3. I'm trying to be selective as possible but I really like all the strategic options of the various spells.
In Order I have only taken Bless, Resurrection and Life Light to lvl 3 and they are a must. I also did Healing which I now regret but that wasn’t much. Dragon Slayer and Demon Slayer want 13 crystals each. Forget about Gift, Pole Axe, Dragon Arrows, Summon Phoenix.
I did take a lot of Distortion spells to lvl 3 but I use them all. I have upgraded Haste, Slow, Ghost Blade, Phantom, Magic Spring, Target, Pain Mirror, Trap, Blind and Geyser. I don't know which ones I could have chosen not to upgrade but I should have curtailed some of them. I also upgraded Teleport and use rarely it so I could have lived without that one. Hypnotize wants 10 crystals for lvl 2 and 15 more for lvl 3 so I will likely forgo upgrading it.
In addition to the 26 crystals I’ll need for Dragon and Demon Slayer, I’ll need a bunch for level 3 Chaos soon but at least they are not as expensive.
