In LOOM, nothing you do will kill you, and you won't get "stuck" because you missed a clue elsewhere. So there should be no need to save your game unless you want to quit and take a break, or you feel more comfortable having a saved game position.
Be sure to keep a pencil and a piece of paper handy at all times to write down the "drafts" (musical spells) you hear in your adventure. The "Book of Patterns" contains a lot of spells you won't hear or need. You will only need the following spells (list these on your piece of paper): Open, Empty, Dyeing, Night Vision, Straw into Gold, Twisting, Invisibility, Sharpen, Terror, Sleep, Healing, Reflection,   Silence, Unmaking, and Transcendence. Note that Open and Transcendence are the only spells which are pre-printed in the Book of Patterns. Write their drafts on your paper now. The open draft is e, c, e, d. The trancedence draft is C, f, g, c.
