I never use points at level up to increase the realms (fire, water, earth etc.) because they tend to increase rapidly. I do increase the schools (divinity, psionics, etc.) to ensure the fastest possible acces to higher level spells.
About spell picks. It depends a bit on how fast you reach Arnika. Mostly I use some spell pick for "practice" spells and save some for the higher level spells because you can buy the lower level spells.
I like to develop the magic skills of my hybrid characters. Most of my parties contain a samurai that uses magic for the long range. Of course the ranger is better with the bow (ranged criticals rule!) so he will use his magic less. Rangers (and alchemists) do have the advantage that they increase their alchemy skill by mixing potions.
Have fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]
