I train in battle a lot early, so by the time my Bishop is L8 or so, in addition to Knocking, Charming, and Mindreading, i'll have pumped all my realms into the 60's. The best thing is to cast the highest level spell at the lowest power level. Specific to Divinity, for:
Fire--Lightning (unf gotta have Div up already)
Air--Whirlwind Good, but still need 45 Div.
Water's great: Holy Water early, Rest All, and Super, one of my fave Water spells
Earth: just keep throwing Armorplate at PL1, so you can do it more often. (if you Knock much, don't worry about Earth)
Mental is bereft, but you prolly got that if you Charm much. (or ID) (Or Mindread/Insane/etc)
Divine: well, Hello, your very own Realm!!! Make Wounds is one of my faves, and Guardian Angel, then Magic Screen. You gotta throw MS at full power to get good protection, though.
Banish shares with Wizardry, so it's good to have that up so you can GET Banish, 'cause it really grinds up the Undead, esp you got Powercast.
One interesting thing, once you get any wearable Mana regen item, you can work your way around the realms, casting all L1 spells at PL1; your mana will be endless.

I usually also do this (til i got around 90 in all realms) in conjunction with Reflextion training, in the Swamp, where i can exchange Mana Stones and get big mobs of shooters. (usu around L13, no regen items yet)
