Nice report! You've beaten my high score. :arrrh: I haven't got within 30 points of it in recent games. Things have to go well to get over 250 it seems.
I take it this was over two turns: 14 Influence and 2 mana of the spell's colours is a lot to ask in one turn so early in the game! If you did spend two turns waiting here, I think the dummy deck was kind to you. Often, if I sit in one place for too long, the Round ends before I've accomplished all I intended to.

Safely inside the tower I spent some time studying with the scholars. I learnt the secrets of Call to Arms and Burning Shield at their tutelage.

In retrospect I think I only got one of the spells here and two of them from the Blue City. I did something fiddly with Call to Arms to use the Illusionist three times (with Herbalists as well) so possible Call to Arms was the one I got when I took the tower and Wings of Wind was the one I then bought. I had plenty of crystals after the previous ruins though so mana wasn't a problem.

Interesting that you chose to go down into a conquered dungeon again. I have never done that before, so that's an option I'll have to reconsider. I'm usually focussing on the next location to conquer - for its rewards rather than just the fame the monster could give you. I suppose it's worth paying attention to whether re-entering a dungeon would give you just enough fame to level up before moving off elsewhere.
The decision here was largely because I lacked the move to go North to the mage tower. Scoring the extra 4-5 fame while I had the Horn of Wrath in hand seemed like a good idea at the time. Actually though it did not contribute to my power growth much so maybe this was a wasted turn.
