Well I am making a mage, mainly for spellcasting, will get into summoning and binding once I get some spare karma. But for now I have a 6 spellcasting (spec combat) and have 30 bps to buy spells with.

I know manabolt and stunbolt, probably improved initiative, but what other spells should I be getting out of any of the books?


I already have a power focus of rating 2, here is another question I am debating.

Should I get
A. 12 spells
B. 9 spells + Rating 3 sustaining Focus
C. 7 Spells + Rating 3 sustatining Focus + Rating 3 Counterspelling focus

I am the only mage in the group and have a counterspelling of 4 already, but having 3 more dice would be nice, plus being able to sustain improved initiative would be good too. I really can't decide which way would be best.

Thanks for all the input in advance
