Balance is a stand alone element. You shouldn't need a second school. But, if you want a second I would suggest Life ,over Death.
I think balance is an ok school, but you'll need other kinds of spells to cast if you're battling a monster that's also balance. Though you could do hydra and spectrical blast.
Anything. Generally, in my opinion, it's a waste to use more than two pips on any out-of-school spells, except for Reshuffle.
You might want to get Feint, Tower Shield, and perhaps Sprite, which is 16 training points.
far and away your best response so far. This is the best advice you can get for a secondary school. Another option would be to not get tower shield and getlife to Satyr.
I think Balance & Death are good because they both have 85% hit rate and you can use Death if you need some health. Life isn't good because if you go against someone who is Balance, you wouldn't have very strong attacks to use. Life has the worst attacks.
seeing as a new world, new level cap, and 3 new training points are coming out, i'd suggest: first: life to satyr* second: death to feint* third: ice to tower shield**
* = fully interchangeable ** = interchangable, but a bad idea to do first
this setup is how i'd do it if i could go back and redo my secondary (i started with death, so i learned tower shield next, and am working on satyr)
