last thing to say on what i see in the shop: the spells
in this pic >>715179216 i kinda changed the weight of the lines on the things that catch my attention more than others, obviously heavy spread is insane i already explained why, but the 2 other viable projectile type spells there are spark bolt w/ trigger and pollen
pollen is an amazing early game digging spell, you NEED some form of digging for the coal pits, this isnt an option. if you dont have digging for the 2nd floor you are almost definitely going to be dead in the water come the snow level because its very impractical to explore most of the area unless you have some kind of digging. couple this with the fact that the extra hp hearts are all encased in some kind of diggable material, and you have a practical necessity to have some form of digging and pollen does that for us
now here is where you are going to get mad, our only real option for building a decent wand out of these spells is to use spark bolt w/ trigger and assemble some kind of payload for it

the trigger spells are huge because they allow you to cast spells remotely, so if i hit an enemy with a spark bolt with trigger it will trigger all the spells in its payload inside the enemy that it hit, meaning instead of having to aim all the different spells we just aim one and the rest just hit automatically by virtue of spawning inside the enemy hitbox. we do not have great options for payload spells right now, nor do we have much in the way of multicasting to trigger lots of spells at once but we do have something
for now i am definitely buying the 1 wand in >>715179216 because of the spark bolt trigger it basically ensures that we will have a good wand at some point we just need to find the rest of the pieces. i will also buy the 4 wand because it has pollen to dig and the extra multicasts that i can use to build up a payload. and then finally i will buy the 3 wand because its no shuffle and it has a lot of slots for us to play with
