I started out with 2 wizes. I thought it best to max out those 2 schools, sun and stone, before moving on. I thought this was optimal.

So in order to get access to both schools as fast as possible during the first part of the game, I specialized 1 wiz in each school. So eventually I maxed out my Stone school with the Stone specialist and set a course for maxing out the sun school too. Shortly thereafter, I found myself in IshadNha (with access to Shurugeon Castle). So I changed to Samurai (which I never intended on using for that character's career path anyway) and maxed out his sun spells in 5 quick level ups. This seems to be the optimal course to max out the sun and stone schools for the Wiz.

In the future, I plan to ignore all sun spells during my Wiz levelups then switch over to Samurai and max out the sun spells. All the while, buying the precious sun spellbooks from the shops while a Wiz. In this way, you can gain the ever useful Incinerate spell and the most devastating Meteorstorm spell (my personal favorite spell in the game) while still a Wiz and rather quickly too. Of those 2 storm spells, I think the Meteorstorm is superior. I have found that the Meteorstorm spell is effective versus every monster in the game, whereas there are several beasties which are immune to the effects of Firestorm.

Since there are like 11 Sun spellbooks in the shops, sun is the easiest to max out anyway.
