Unless you can access things on few different devices like me watching something on my laptop, then on ipad then on other laptop, finally to watch something on mobile phone. So I have to go and find where I finished last time which annoys me and also puts youtuber in bad spot as youtube classes people switching your videos of in the middle as bad and puts you lower in search engine.
I have been playing with advanced spells, since no one seems to know what they do. I have posted a very incomplete list here:

It would be great if someone could look into the code/experiment some more to find out what everything else does, as well as the effects of the upgrades.

Blood Magic is balanced around a time investment. Once you have access to a form of automated LP production, it is very easy to automate slate production with hoppers, itemducts, translocators, and even SFM.
TOP TIP
You don't need the ''Ballad of Alchemy'' to automate the Alchemical Chemistry set, translocators set on the side can regulate ingredients(bit difficult to place, have to shift right click on the side of the bottom plate of the chemistry set) and an Import Bus/Item Duct on the top can pull out the results... For recipies that require 2 of a certain reagent just tell the translocator to keep more than a stack in and the chemistry set will sort itself out.
Have managed to automate all the elemental summoning dust things like this.

So should I consider the advanced spell system kind of similar to AM2... In a sense that I am assembling a spell that can do multiple things when cast?
Like can I for example use a self fire and earth combination? To create a buff of health with a fire cloak with a single spell cast. Or is this system not as complex?

That just feels cheaty, bypassing that feeling of mysticism that only mages and magic rituals can use it. Totally immersion breaking.
I honestly don't know. I haven't messed with the new spell system at all yet. @PurpleMentat would be the best one to ask about this.
I would definitely like to see some pictures of that setup if you don't mind. Sounds quite cool, even if I agree with what @trajing said.
Setup
Shift right click here to get the translocator to attach
ME Interface
Translocator with stack plus 1 of glowstone to get both slots
Inside the chemistry set
Precision import bus(optional, it won't pull out reagents) set to switch off when I have a stack in the system with a level emitter

Haha only came up with it cos that's how I thought it was supposed to be done... Didn't pay attention while watching others so didn't know the Ballad existed. More suprised no one else has worked it out, could also be done with Supllier Pipes from LP.
Don't see why it would be cheaty, does exactly the same as the Ballad just takes up a fraction of the space but to each his own.
I just feel like automation with magic mods should be done within the mod itself. But as you said, to each their own.
It's been said a few times around these forums that I don't know anything about the spell system.
