Is there a master list of what spells a given level of Magery lets you access?

As I said, I agree for Magery 1, but Magery 2-3 tend to be at the end of prerequisite chains, so the text search should be useful, at least.

As for M0’s bets spells and combat use:

Keen (Sense) is probably the #1 M0 spell, as because it lasts 30 minutes, and therefore can be kept up for a long time with any combination of rest, energy reserve and power item.

Concussion, even at skill 8, works quite well as a fight starter for high-sequence characters like elven scouts: walk around with the spell in hand, toss it to the back of enemy ranks as your first action (you generally don’t need to hit anything but a general area of the ceiling), then fast-draw whatever you’re intending to fight with.

Walk on Air is one of those things that will make difficult fights and insurmontable problems into a walk in the park, at the cost of a few minutes of rest later on.

Invisibility is much the same for a number of combat-avoiding situations.

Infravision is a response to one of the most common hard stops to a scout’s efficiency: darkness. Certainly, you can’t expect to cast it from a scroll in total darkness when you most need it!

But the biggest boon of Magery 0 isn’t learning spells, it’s 50% off scrolls — You can play in the big leagues with any spell that isn’t resisted or Blocking, including stuff like Shield +5 DB (or +6, depending how your GM runs scroll economics).

Deathtouch as a scroll is particularly nice for professions who do not need to cast spells: cast a 3-6d melee spell on your right hand, then ignore it. If anything comes too close or grapples you, slap it. Melee spells neither lapse nor go off accidently.

Yeah concussion is very useful, but I feel that it's a bit weird in how a 1 point and an 18 point concussion stuns at exactly the same level.

A lot of things are *very weird* in Spells/Magic, but that feels like another thread entirely.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The explosive damage definitely varies with the energy put into the spell, so any damage-based stunning effect will vary as well. But the separate, large-area stunning effect that's arguably the main point of the spell – it doesn't vary at all.
