-The Conjurer starting book contains a variety of pure [[Conjurations]] attack spells. Once they get to [[XL]] 2, Conjurers receive a variety of strong, reliable, and irresistible spells to inflict damage on their foes. This puts them in stark contrast to elementalists and Venom Mages.
+The Conjurer starting book contains a variety of pure [[Conjurations]] attack spells. Once they get to [[XL]] 2, Conjurers receive a variety of strong, reliable, and irresistible spells to inflict damage on their foes. This puts them in stark contrast to elementalists and Alchemists, who may face enemies that resist their spells.
 The Conjurations skill is very flexible; contributing to the power and failure of many elemental spells, if/when you get them.

 Conjurers have access to [[Searing Ray]] at XL2, a strong overall spell, if a bit plain. It can be recast for only 1 MP by waiting (pressing '.', also automatically done with autofight). Their starting spell, [[Magic Dart]] is somewhat weaker. Magic Dart has a few benefits; it never misses and has a full-screen range.
-Cj provides a few ways to branch into [[Hexes]]. [[Dazzling Flash]] [[blind]]s nearby enemies, significantly reducing their ability to fight or track you. [[Fulminant Prism]] can deal heavy damage to multiple enemies at a greater distance. Putting a prism one space ahead, but out of the way of, a (normal speed) monster insures that you escape and they get hurt. Though both of them are pretty good spells on their own, with Prism being your highest level damage spell.
+Both [[Fulminant Prism]] and [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] are very useful, though you should generally get Prism first (since it deals more damage). Prism creates a stationary summon; after 2 turns, it explodes in a 3×3 area. Against a 100% speed monster, you should put a prism one space ahead - but not in the direct path of - the monster. That way, you don't get hurt and the monster does.
-[[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] deals damage to multiple enemies at once, shoving monsters out of melee (or staircase) range. The spell requires yet another skill, into [[Translocations]] this time. Surrounded? Say no more; it's just as potent as, and more reliable than, [[Blink]] for this purpose.  You'll likely want the other spells up first; IMB isn't the best at dealing damage, and bad situations can be avoided with careful play.
+Iskenderun's Mystic Blast is a support spell great for knocking enemies back, or damaging multiple enemies. Surrounded? Say no more; it's just as potent as, and more reliable than, [[Blink]] for this purpose.

-[[Searing Ray]] is an excellent follow up to never-missing [[Magic Dart]], and is very MP-efficient. Both are somewhat plain, though Searing Ray can be recast for only 1 MP by waiting (pressing '.', also automatically done with autofight). Magic Dart is a bit on the weak side, but the XL2 spell will easily fill that gap, and darts can hit from full range.
