of course the run where i waste the starting heal spell is the run I win

You pretty much always have to waste the starting spell. Your first 5HP worth of attacks is rarely going to give you enough information to deduce a path, so you'll need that sound 6HP to try to find another scroll.

You can't waste any heals if you want to clear the board.

[deaddodo]

I cleared the board multiple times using the exact tactic I outlined.

Wasting it is the same as just keeping it unused forever, the other use for heal spells.
