I tried casting it at various places against various monsters. Only
_once_ did I get _any_ indication that it did damage. Basically, by the
time you can get the spell all the monsters you are fighting are so magic
resistant as to be immune.

I believe both sets of those mosters are magic immune, so
Prismatic Light (and Mass Distortion, and Flying fist, etc.) won't do
any damage to them. Try Dragon Breath. :)

Only if they happen to be available to buy. It took a couple of
game-years after I first reached Free Haven before either of those spells
showed up for sale.

You didn't check the guild often enough - the stock of spellbooks changes
every week, so if you don't see it today just come back the next week and
try again.

Hard to check every single week when you've cleared the area and are off
completing quests on other maps. I wasn't going to sit around in Free
Haven for a couple of months hoping a spell would show up.

When you first walk into town, don't go into any stores....mosy over to the
Adept Water guild...save. Now walk in...if you don't like what you see,
reload...walk in...voila! the stock has changed! Or wait 2-5 game days if you
don't like that idea. (I know Blackshire shops change stock every 2 days)

If you get really desperate, save before entering a guild for the
first time during the week you're in. If the spellbook is
unavailable, reload, and try again. If you haven't fixed the set of
books by visiting earlier in the week, then you should get a random
sampling of books again which may contain the spell you want.
