Here is a quick way to get from general Magic Skill Level 1 to Level 2. This formula was given to me years ago by an experienced player named DingoDuck. He and his real life brother Billr were regular players in earlier days of TMW. Once you start the spells, the whole process should take around 20 to 30 minutes.

First, get general Magic Skill Level 1: https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Legacy_General_Magic_Skill#Level_1

Then do this:
1. Set your Luck to 21 and your Intel to 50 or higher.
2. Do not equip anything that has a negative effect on magic.
3. Carry less than half your weight.
4. Gather about 20-25 of each of these items:
>>Knife, Lifestone, Sulfur Powder, Log, Maggot Slime, Root
5. Rotate and repeat these spells:
>>#chiza, #lum, #flar, #parum boo, #kalmurk
6. Every 5th rotation, use the #abizit spell to check your progress.
7. When you get the message "You feel in perfect control of your magic", go back and touch the Mana Seed for general Magic Skill Level 2.

* You can type out the spells in chat or place them in shortcuts. For greater detail, see "Casting Spells" @

Since I started this thread, I have been hearing from other players about their own preferred methods for quickly reaching general Magic Skill Level 2. Here is one of them:

Substitute the following for lines 1, 4, and 5 in the above formula:
1. Set your Intel to 50 or higher.
4. Gather about 60 of each of these items: Lifestone, Sulfur Powder
5. Rotate and repeat these spells: #lum, #flar

If you have your own special formula, feel free to add it here!
