Tornado is your best grinding spell early on. Stack Spirit for maximum magic damage and always carry a full inventory of MP potions. In guild wars, position behind the frontline and cast AoE into enemy clusters.
PvP Warning
A single Trojan landing a Hercules AoE can one-shot you. Never be alone in PvP zones. Stay with your guild and let the melee fighters protect you while you rain fire.
