Should I spend points in spells of cost 2 or 3?

I mean, I usually die by level 5, so investing in that kind of spells sounds a bit of a waste... I prefer saving my points for spells of cost 4 or 5.

Should I take cost 2-3 spells? How much would they help my survivability?

The more expensive spells

The more expensive spells aren't necessarily better; it's more that they're bigger. A Fireball will clear a room, but if you don't need to clear a room, a Lightning Bolt is cheaper to cast and still very effective. Especially early on, 10 MP is a lot to spend on a single effect.

As to whether it will help survivability, that all depends on the strategies you use. I'd experiment a bit with some of the middle-cost spells, and see how it affects your characters' lifespans.

I explored them a bit and yeah, they helped. Although today I managed to reach Floor 6 with Drain, Nova and Haste, I usually get killed at depth 5.
