Hi Buddies,

I have a talismonger-shop, a rating 6 "library", an unbound rating 6 spell lock (illusion), an unbound power-focus rating 3 and spell formulas for ALL known spells. I also have access to a rating 3 domain where the shop is located at the moment.
So I really have a very good basis to go on, but I really cannot decide. There are so many building-sites and so little karma. I am interested in an ally but I donīt know if the immense karma-costs equal the benefit. I could think of binding the power-focus (to finally have more than 13 dice for my primary skill) but as soon as I step into the next rating 3 background count it is useless again. So I thought about raising magic, but I should also learn some spells I still lack and quicken them (e.g. combat sense, deflect or else). During the last run cleansing and filtering metatechniques would have been handy
.and so on and on and on. I also have a lot of skills at a near-useless rating, but raising attributes is more efficient. So I really donīt know what to do.
Please give me some advice what step would make most sense, gives most benefit etc.
Edit: missings spells are clairvoyance and nutrition. Nothing important.^^
