hello fello sorcerers! I am level 22, Ronan Spellheart.

I have some advice, and a few questions.

Advice: get the wand at the wand shop with the minor flash thingy, it is a good atack that cost zero pips! this realy helps me gain pipps for the high, powerful spells.

Questions: how come no teachers, but proffeser flamea and greyrose comment and post on the message boards? i would like to talk to proffeser athuor winsefield! ( sorry if the names are miss-spelled) but, ya know! dont get me wrong, pro. flamea and greyrose are nice ladies but i would like to have a conversation with my teach! please tell me what you think
my other question is, if you go back to borris tallstaff in the library he may ask you to help him with the ravenwood news, you will interview the teachers, gamma, H.M. merle, and bartlebe, then he wants you to go talk to the librarian and the librarian asks you to find books all over wizard city (alot like the smiths) but i cant find a single one!!! not in unicornway, not in fesstivall park in cyclopse lane, or any where please help me!!!!

I would like to contribute a few opinions on secondary schools to Balance to this thread. I recently started a Balance wizard (who is now level 23) and decided to go with Myth as a secondary school because others seemed to suggest it. I have to say that looking back I think this was a very large mistake and am hoping they allow you to undo your training point spending in the near future. I hope that some people will read this before choosing Myth hastily. I will address the personal reasons why I think Myth is a horrible secondary class for Balance.

For starters, the accuracy is quite frustrating, 80% may seem somewhat reliable, but in my experience I find myself choosing my slightly less powerful Balance spells simply out of fear of the ever so common fizzle. Although this improves later with good gear supposedly, it is still very frustrating through most of the game.

The other main issue is not so much that the cards you get are bad, just that they have nothing that makes them stand out over your own Balance cards. Every single card up to Humongofrog has a balance counterpart that costs the same amount of pips (with the downside of eating power pips) and only a slightly larger damage ratio. This slight boost in damage is soon negated by Balance boosting gear. At level 23 my balance spells are already boosted to a point of being equally powerful if not more so than all my Myth spells. On top of that, Myth has 5% less accuracy. As for Minotaur and Earthquake, these two cards are the few in the game that actually hinder a Sorcerer's strategy with their damage boost and charm eating. Everyone knows damage boosts and charms are the bread and butter of a Sorcerers strategy.

The ONLY benefit I can see Myth having to a Sorcerer are;

A) Boost against Balance creatures which resist Balance magic. (Myth is still inferior in this respect as Death and Life also give boosted damage with the bonus of restoring health)

B) Boost against Storm creatures which some people may have trouble dealing with.

Benefit B is really the only true benefit I cannot argue against, but in my experience, Storm creatures do not give me considerable trouble to a point that I would need to invest into an entire school to deal with.

A lot of people know Death is probably the best companion to a Sorcerer with the coveted Feint causing us to be even more deadly and health sapping moves being more reliable than the few inefficient health restoring moves available. I would think life wouldn't be too bad either up to Satyr for the major healing and being a better team player.

I honestly think ANY School would be a better school to invest in. Fire, Ice, and Storm may have their flaws, but play in with the elemental boosts reasonably well if you so choose.

I would appreciate feedback to some of the better aspects of Myth if there are any, as I am pretty depressed about my poor forethought.

(I remembered that there may be something to be said about Humongofrog's exclusive Spirit damage to all enemies being combined with Spirit Trap and Spirit Blade, but there is also, in my opinion, a better alternative in Fire school's Meteor Strike or Ice school's Blizzard combined with the more useful Elemental Blade/Trap. There is also the benefit of acquiring other useful exclusive spells in these schools such as Tower Shield and Sun Bird.)


I simply disagree. I think Myth is a wonderful secondary school. (and soon I will start Life.) I think it is because there are powerful attacks like earthquake and Humongofrog. I find that these help alot, although do eat pips. Still, It's a good price to pay for damage. Hope this makes u happier.

Uhhh... I cant agree with you at all. To me balance is the BEST SCHOOL!!! It does totally depend on the secondary school though. Im a lvl 20 sorcer and my second school is life. Life has strong attacks, heals, and doesnt have many shield. I think they have one. So life balances balance!!!



p.s. BALANCE RULES!!!!!!




That may be your opinion but i'm a level 26 Scorcer (Jessica EarthTamer) and there may be 2 many sheilds but you get a healing spell later on after defeating Krockospinx!

P.S. It takes little parts from all schools ( Balance, Fire, Ice, Storm, Death, Life, Myth, some of the power ups boost these schools.)

P.S.S. Balance Rules!!!!!!

Hi, balance is so awesome I just love it. At first the spells are kind of weak but then wow, awesome! I'm level 48 balnce wizard and still think it's awesome. Also hydra is kind of weak especially compared to some of the other school's rank 6 cards even life which usually is pretty weak. I love judgement I have like a 30% increase to balnce so it always does awesome damage. I kinda have a couple of myth cards , that was a bad choice not only is myth like the worst school without sommining I also never use it because I can't use power pips on it. I haven't used a training point forever I have 2 training points. For the moderaters who are reading this I think we should be able to sell training points for like 10,000 or somthing. Anyway balance is soooooooooo awesome yay.

P.S. balance gets the most cards in the game...

P.S.S. Balance is the best school no matter what other people say!

Hello Fellow Sorcerers,

I am Julia SandCloud a level 27 balance student.


Here is my help for Ronan Spellheart. Look at the quest. Then you see what history of magic you need to find. Let's start with Unicorn Way, where you will find the history of Life magic. Walk onto Unicorn Way and defeat Lady Blackhope, and on the side of her is a book that says above is "History of Life Magic" then go to hit and click "x" on your keyboard. You have just collected that.

Firecat Alley= Fireglobe Theater
Cyclops Lane= General Akilles Tower
Triton Avenue= The Harvest Lord Tower
Haunted Cave= Stormdrain Tower (where you defeat Lord Nightshade)
Colosus Boulevard= Gobble Stone Castle

If you need any help please contact me... i think i will start a help club....


Thxxx!!!!

Julia Sandcloud


PS If you need help killing (the name we shall not say) uhhhh (gag) malistaire then ok but i already have a group.... my bro and 2 cuzs the best!!!!

Hello fellow Sorcerers! :)
It's really nice to chat with a bunch of balance wizards like me! The School of balance is SO misunderstood. My friend, who is also a balance wizard, used judgment in the arena, and everyone said it was unfair and she was cheating. But it is just a spell, so why is it considered cheating?

I woke up this morning and relized that there are several different things about Wizard101. The most noticable one would be the arena.

While i was scoping more sites out i met the girl. She had beautiful wings on. The first thought that camr to my mind was "i want a pair of those"! I had no clue that it was even possible for there ti be wings like that in the first place. I asked her where she got those from and she said that she got them by defeating Lord Nightshade in his tower. I asked her how many times she had to defeat him to get them and she said that that did not matter(rude :x). She then said it was very rare and "I" probobly could never get some. But oh well i guess i did not take her advise :D. So I headed out to defeat him...AGAIN! When I was done fighting, i did not get the wings, go figure. but i guess that i have to do it many times before I get anything? Help?

Another thing,... while i was there, with the new implications all, i noticed a chest (oooooh, Aaaaaaaah!). The chest name was the Obsidian Chest. What is it? Was it there before? Is it a new quest that came with new and improved Wizard101? Well even if it is, ... i cant open it, ughh! But that is why i am asking!

SOOOOO....... i need help! please help me?

love the lots of you, love always , a madam in distress. :D
T The Obsidian Chest you are referring to is from a dragonspyre quest (won't go further not to spoil). Have fun.
