Strategy
Conjurers enter the Dungeon with the Magic Dart spell in memory.
The Conjurer starting book contains a variety of unusual, pure Conjurations attack spells. Force Lance is an excellent follow up to Magic Dart, allowing you to keep strong enemies at bay while pelting them with spells. Dazzling Spray is a weak area of effect spell, but blinding enemies does reduce their ranged attack abilities significantly. All of the later spells are useful in their own ways for an offensive caster.
While these spells are all effective, they tend to deal less damage than their elemental counterparts. Still, the fact that they affect all opponents, regardless of resistances, makes them reliable and saves you from suddenly encountering a foe you just can't deal with. When you do find some elemental magic sources, your early training in Conjurations will help you get those spells online quickly.
