Do you know how to play?

I used to play as Solmyr as well. I don't remember the details because it was a long time ago, but in general, I think that even powerful mages still need to increase their attack and defense: they won't let you down, unlike spells. In general, spells that affect the entire squad are usually the most popular, especially at the beginning. And a well-developed enemy might even have magic resistance of 100%... So I agree with **Wlk777**.
