I don't cast light spells on level 10. As you may have read elsewhere, casting light spells slows my browser down so much that the game becomes unplayable.

I guess I could cast MAP, though, seeing as my pencil-and-paper map is as complete as I can figure out without seeing an official map.

I would have tried that but my Sorcerors had 2 and 3 SP left, respectively. A Wizard isn't doing anything in the front. He's my 4th character. He got to the front when others were paralysed from in front of him.
