As a side note, there is very little reason to master such a low-level prep spell. Mastery only affects the spell's chance of success, not its power. If you're going to bore yourself this way, save it for critical spells like Word of Recall.
Mentoring, mostly, and my own ADD tendencies want to have everything look somewhat uniform on the spells list.
When I'm training spells, I tend to go for maximum efficiency, meaning fewer release commands. So I'll do multiple spells at once, like..
"c armor;c prot;c bless;c sanc;rele all"
I find that's significantly faster for mastering spells. There are other techniques you can use to speed things up, as well, but you can figure those out on your lonesome.
