- Try to meditate after every 2 uses of Arcane missiles, Invisibility, and Fireball, because all your spells regenerate at the same time.

- When enemies are interacting with doors, shoot a fire spell at them.

- Use door windows to shoot at unsuspecting enemies on the other side of the door.

- Use invisibility to get out of sticky situations and re-position. You can use the Haste ability beforehand to further boost your movement speed.

- While meditating, your camera is locked and you character looks down at the ground, to increase your visibility, meditate on an elevated position to increase your field of view and spot incoming enemies.

- Alternatively, you can also rest at campfire to replenish spell casts.
