Dear Journal,
It's often good idea to conserve spells, relying on team, and to use simpler weapons against lesser opponents.
This way, spell reserve can be useful against more dangerous opponents and to secure way back through enemy territory. Never know when it's needed.
That's one of reasons of why i need to learn 'Flame Weapon' spell. To support team with it, and with flaming arrows... and not to be useless on the way to destination.

P.S. If i conserve spells, our team can push further into enemy territory, before the need for camp and meditation for spells arises.
P.S.S. It takes strong character to keep such reserve during fight... Even if i won't use spells and simple weapons, i can be still very useful guarding team fighting so they are not flanked. Usually my role is to scout and provide extra firepower when neccessary.
