1. Keep the basic spells in your hat.
Scribe TPA, EHA, JPOCT, PFG onto cigarette paper and keep them in your hat. If you die you have all the spells with you that you need to get shielded and get to your vaults.
2. get a permalight
having a permalight means if you die at night you can see when you need to relearn the spells from paper. alternatively just try remembering each one in turn until you get it right :)
