It's fine if you just play it through without worrying about percentages! It's just a completionist's nightmare, since every level in the game has however many Mario 64-esque "Do this particular thing to get the gem" runs.
I just have the wrong personality for it, because I can't leave things like that alone, I want to 100% everything I can before moving on (barring the obvious "you literally cannot get this one without a spell to get past the locked door, come back later" ones of course) and that makes the game about a thousand hours longer and it also makes a lot of the challenges harder by not having the "You can technically try this one now but it sure would be easier if you came back with more MP and endgame spells and...." advantage. (Looking at you, Dust Hill ghost!)
Xyzzy does not have nearly as much of an issue with feeling a compulsion to 100% things, so she stands more of a chance of getting through it than I do at this point. :)
