Levels 8-11
Now that you have reached level 8, you can purchase new spells. Some good ones to buy are shock of ice (similar to shock of frost and shock of fire, yet much more powerful), firebolt (a more powerful bolt spell, which is useful for attacking at a range and often does more damage then the shock spells), and lesser shielding (an upgraded version of minor shielding that eases the damage you take thus). Here, you will most definitely want to group up with others. As you gain levels, it becomes more difficult to handle monsters on your own. Be sure to save up money for all the new spells that become available to you as you gain levels. You will likely wish to purchase them as soon as possible.

Level 12
At long last! You have finally arrived at a focal point in your life as a wizard. Now that you have attained level 12, there are many new spells open to your arsenal, and many people will ask for your services. One thing in particular they'll be requesting is the bind affinity spell. This spell lets you bind a person's soul to a zone so he returns there upon death. With bind affinity, he will return to that same location when he casts the gate spell. Other spells you have to look forward to are shock of lightning (yet another version of the shock line of spells; this one features increased damage and efficiency), halo of light (useful for those classes without infravision or ultravision and to people who like to see things more brightly), fire storm (a spell that creates a shower of fire on the target, damaging all enemies in the vicinity), and cancel magic (this can be used to dispel magical effects on you or other party members such as the root spell).
