Hello all,

I have a few magic users, and rather than waste early spell picks on spells that I can buy books for, I'd prefer to save them for later/better spells. So, my question is, which spells are useful, but I can eventually buy a book for them later on? I know I have to pick a few spells, just to help my party enough to get to the point where I can buy spell books, but other than that, I'd prefer to save them (good idea? yes/no? why?) So far the spells that I thought I needed were (that I spent spell picks on, probably restarting anyway) are fireball, web, and freeze flesh. Can you buy these? If so, how long would I need to wait? It's a balance between spell selection efficiency, and then what spells you need right NOW to kill/immobilize/heal/etc.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
