i went to try and teach my pet a spell i made and it said i dont have enough alchemy points. how is it that i increase these?

An alchemy point is awarded for reading 16 different books.

Thank you

Not only 16 books but 16 intelligence points as well. :D You can get those from certain stat boosters.

that isn't quite right either. The sixteenth point has to be a book. The 15 other points could be gotten through stat boosters or playing mystic spindles.
