Moments of Permanence - Because I am evil and I hate you

Thanks! This is helpful! I had got further after commenting, by repeating the first level and trying different uses of my skill points. I can't get the hang of the bomb (I never seem to hit what I'm aiming at), and haven't tried the mana pool spell yet. I wonder if that's what I need on the level I'm currently stuck on (level 7, I think, but I can't see 4 or 6).

I'd rather do it myself than cheatcopy the code. I'm not that frustrated yet! (The previous game I've been spending far too much time on, Enigma, there are levels where I would indeed cheat if I knew how because I'm pretty sure they're impossible with my reaction times.) Maybe I'll try Gemcraft Original before I go back to Chapter 0, though.

*nods*

Bombs explode basically exactly where they are. Unless you're using highish-level gems, they won't hit much that isn't DIRECTLY under them, and they won't necessarily auto-kill monsters.

And it's also worth remembering, as you progress, that you'll quite possibly want to change your skill points around often - tailor them to the level you're attempting.
