I think 10 pip spells should be item cards in some items. I know lord of winter, sun serpent, avenging fossil and sabertooth already are item cards. I'm saying the other ones like storm owl should be too. So it helps exalted and/or lower level wizards. I hope they put them on pets so lower level wizards can have 'em too.
High pip damage spells are usually not the best option for lower level players. You're much better off properly buffing and enchanting your lower pip trained spells than using TC attacks.
