Try the Mind spell
From Create Your Own Story
Even if it's just a suggestion it'll still be helpful in a lot of situations. Also if you play your cards right you can convince the people you cast the spell on yourself. Reading it over you figure out how to cast the spell. Suddenly there is a knock at the door and when you open it you see a guardsman standing there in full armor. "It's time for your daily training session My Prince." Says the guard. You nod but then realize something. Why don't you test it on him?
