So you want to get ridiculous spell stats and 1 shot the minotaur, or maybe the overlord if we ever get to fight him?

Victoria keeps telling your in class that you need to practice your spell casting to get better.

You might think to go to spell practice or even fight duels since that raises your spells.

Victoria is wrong you don't need practice.

All you need to do is a job and work at Molly's all the time and make the most money possible.

Step 1) Every morning go through different parts of the school to grab the lost foliants (books)

There is always 1 book on campus either in the living room or the bathroom, 100% of the time.
In the Academy there is 2-4 books, they can be in either :
Inner garden.
Left wing.
Right wing.
Class room.
Potion class.
Main hall.

Don't turn in the books to Amelie, keep them and sell them to Gordon in Dale for 9$ a pop.
Every tuesday don't forget to pick up the Lunar nymphaea in the inner garden fountain, you want to keep a few for Audrey's scene but the rest can be sold for 45$ a pop.

Step 2) Every occasion you get that you aren't doing a character's storyline or main quest, work at Molly's for 35$ each time.

Step 3) Make sure your house wins the weekly tournament for a free 50$ each week. No need to really bother with this, you will usually win this just by working at Molly's, just check on friday and if your house is not first do 1 duel against the highest house and you will pass them easily.

Step 4) Once in Dale check for money on the ground. Its not much but its better than nothing, money can be either on :
Main street.
Club.
Alley.
Viewpoint.

It can respawn between times of the day as well so recheck when you can.

Step 5) Once in Dale sell excess books and flowers and buy scrolls to increase your spellpower, focus on combat bolt first since that will be your bread and butter and you are forced to use that spell at least once out of every 2 casts.

You could focus all your money on combat bolt if you want or raise another spell too, I would recommend Episkey so you can essentially heal yourself infinitely while also attacking with combat bolt, basically being invincible.

Every scroll raises spellpower by 5 and cost 66$, this means every day if you work at Molly's twice you get a scroll, not counting the extra you make from selling books.

Every week you can pretty much buy 5-10 scrolls depending on how many storylines you got to do, that's a lot more spellpower than you can ever hope to gain by practice or dueling.

You can also buy the catalysts, they basically double your damage but are a bit risky since some times your spell can backfire, but once you hit around 500 spellpower you can 1 shot people in duels using a catalyst.
