nah, i didn't assume you didn't know about them but felt the need to mention them for those that don't (newbies reading this thread for the first time and such)... i get what ya mean by the grind now though, collecting 100 of every spell i come across before getting all the card skills or even cards can become a bit tedious and thus a grind, i gotcha... i don't think they really intended for us to play it that way but power levelers will do what they must to gain as much power as possible before moving on...
