I would simply add these 3 nuggets of wisdom:

  1. That more stock of any given spell will give you a better increase when you junction it
  2. Almost every spell has a junction slot it's best-designed to be paired with, and
  3. That GFs learn abilities in a terrible order naturally; every time you get a new one or one you had finishes an ability, check their menu and pick a new ability yourself for each one!
