'If it weren't for this Magic Book, I wouldn't have been able to learn any Tier Three Magic even after becoming a Level 3 Mage.'
The Mage Profession is different from the others.
When a Warrior reaches Level 3, they experience an immediate, qualitative transformation. Their physical strength immediately jumps a whole level. Their combat schools unlock new forms, and with their enhanced physique, the power of these forms also rises a notch. There are basically no roadblocks.
But Mages are a different story.
The power of Magic is fundamentally tied to Skill Proficiency and Tier.
Leveling up grants a decent boost to Magic Power and might slightly increase Casting speed, but there are no other significant improvements.
To see any significant improvement, you have to learn High Tier Spells.
'But High Tier Spells cost money...'
Only a Mage with spells is worthy of the name; a Mage without them is just a scrub.
