Question on T'ien

I forgot the most basic of spells for T'ien Ch'i that maybe a newbie doesn't look at. Quickness. I'd get to Alteration 2 asap for it.

Also another recommendation would be to get at least 4 Earth on your Pretender, and try to avoid nature above 4. This will give your mages Reinvigoration which is incredibly useful when using quickness.
