Thanks for playing! 😀
Yes, going toe-to-toe with the baddies is not advised, since the character doesn't hit very hard. All the spells are useful, but 'ignite' is the best for doing damage, (since it also sets stuff on fire of course). Flowing hands does damage and can push monsters away from you. Also you can cast it on yourself if you're on fire. Whirlwind pushes all monsters away from you, while also doing a bit of damage.
