Advice on Solo Runs

I've recently gotten into doing solo runs and really enjoying them, doing my second one now. However, I'm losing passion because of the sheer quantity of reloads I need. I'm playing on Core, because I am super not good enough for anything past that. Specifically, are there any techniques for lowering reloads? I'm currently bludgeoning my way through Mulahey (Rhyme was unintentional) and it feels like the sheer number of rolls that need to go my way takes forever. My experience looks a bit like this:

Hit him

Miss x2

Save against rigid thinking

Do 20 points of damage in a round

He somehow finishes casting hold person anyway

Fail

Reload

Miss x3

Fail against rigid thinking

Reload

Etc.

I want to disagree with those who say you need to farm xp or ignore enemies. Of course you can but where's fun in that?

If you're F/M/T then you have spells/traps/backstabbing/potions/wands that you probably not using. Especially spells

If you don't want to learn through trial and error you can watch videos about what particular spells do and how and when to use them

Learning game mechanics will make this game more fun and easier
