Well, here's the thing.  Stunts cost 1 refresh per stunt, and we're at Refresh 8 right now.  Your Wizard Powers cost 7, so you can't afford the stunt right now.  So, until you can, hold on to Alertness so you can have some Initiative, but just don't upgrade it.  Besides, the Skill Tower means that you'll need a lot of +1 skills anyway.<br/><br/>MP, back me up here?
