What's the point in upping the save DCs of Janis's pitiful amount of 1st level arcane spells?

Well, you'd get 3 magic missiles instead of one....
It's so painfully obvious that you are headed for mystic theurge...
@stonegod - I goofed on the number of healing potions Marot had -- he had 4 CLW and 1 CMW, but it ended up with the correct result -- odds are that he would have grabbed a CLW while blind.

Actually, I'm not headed toward mystic theurge with Janis.
The only reason she has the Wizard level in the first place is because she reconfigured after the game already started and I started panicking about the prospect of getting anywhere in this game with a low hit point, low Fort save Wizard. Druid got taken mostly because it was the best way mechanically to save the real schtick of Janis, the electrical reserve feat. So she's really a sort of hodge-podge of "what can I do to make the concept work while maintaining some sense of who the character is as written." After that? Well, I've mostly just been trying to advance her in a way that kept her until the next level the best.

I was kidding about the mystic theurge as I remember the change earlier in the campaign when Janis went from pure wizard to druid.
Except for a few places so far, (like the circle of death) a wizard who stayed out of the fray of battle could have survived -- but it is a given that more devious things await in Barovia.
