There is an easy way to collect a lot of points without taking any
risks if you know the spells "cause cold" and "cause flu": go to the
port of Scorn, in the Animal Quarantine hangar.  Do not open the door,
but stay close to the wall and cast the two spells on the poor guy who
is standing there.  The disease will spread over the wall and will
infect the hundreds of animals on the other side.  They will never
reach you as long as you do not open the door, and you will keep on
collecting exp points for several minutes (until the room is full of
creatures that are immune).

The newbie tower is full of low-level monsters and is good for
beginners, but that big hangar has some medium- and high-level
monsters that will give you more points.

It is also possible to spread diseases "safely" (while being out of
reach of the monsters) on some other maps that do not have an easy
victim waiting outside.  The trick is to stay close to a wall or
locked door, then to summon a pet monster and to inflict the disease
to your pet.  This will spread over the wall or door and infect the
monsters on the other side.
