[Weapons]
Staves
These have better accuracy than wands.
I personally like these appearance.

Wands
These have better attack power and critical rate than staves.

[Skills]
Colors mean:Advantage, The middle, Fault

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b..._missle_01.pngMagic missle
Most basic attack spell. It has medium attack power, short cooldown and low SP consumption(at lvl1).
In a party, spamming lvl1 is better than max lvl for good total damage and low SP consumption.
If you are solo, hit and away at max level is maybe better.
-Recommended empowerment: Cooldown, Attack power(if you use at max lvl)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c_blast_01.pngMagic blast
It is more powerful spell of Magic missle. It has short casting time, medium attack power and short cooldown.
Because casting time exists, it is not easy to use it during the combo at solo.
-Recommended empowerment: Attack power

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...ce_bolt_01.png Ice bolt
It can maybe slow target. But low attack power and long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...re_bolt_01.png Fire bolt
Powerful damage source for mage. It has high attack power but long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Attack power(5)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...ng_bolt_01.pngLightning bolt
It can maybe cause additional damage(show by red text). But long cooldown.
The additional damage frequency increases to two times when duration time is empowered.
(I empowered duration time +5, but additional damage frequency not increased to three times)
-Recommended empowerment: Duration time(2)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c_burst_01.pngMagic burst
It's AoE!(Area of Effect) and short cooldown but low attack power and high SP consumption.
It can't acquire in CB1. No more comment...
-Recommended empowerment: Cooldown(probably)

Convert your HP into your SP but conversion efficiency is not good.
There is no reason used at solo, and I think you should not use this for saving cleric's SP even if you are in party.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

Remove 1 curse or debuff(bleed) from yourself or other player. Clerics can't cure these by spells.
If you want to use it for yourself, set your target to yourself, enemy or none.
(For target yourself, click your portrait or press F1 key)
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

Even if all SP has burned, monsters can specially attack.
But these have longer range and useful for pull. These have long long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

[General FAQ]
Q.We need empower for decrease SP consumption?
A.I think it's NOT necessary because you use the HP stones faster than SP stones.

Q.We need empower for decrease cooldown for Ice(Fire, Lightning) bolt?
A.I think it's NOT necessary because it's enough that you use those bolts once in each fight(I think also skill point is insufficient for empowering as many as three bolts).

Q.I'm pooooooooor!!!11!1
A.At least, you should use max level weapon that you can equip.(refine is taboo if you have no money).
Please defeat a low lvl(green named) enemy who can knock it down by receiving damage only a little.
