Lawrence Watt-Evans, With a Single Spell
Wildside (1987) ISBN: 1-58715-285-1
Score: 2
Second Ethshar novel, telling the story of Tobas of Telven, an apprentice wizard who has only learned one spell when his master suddenly dies. When the other wizards don't help him (he's too old to start another apprenticeship), he lets himself be recruited to help kill a dragon that's ravaging one of the Small Kingdoms. Lots of interesting information on how wizardry and witchcraft work, and good place to start the series (unlike The Spriggan Mirror which spoils much of this book). This edition also includes the short (and inconsequential) story "Weaving Spells".

Yet Another Fine Myth?
I know that's unfair, but the setup is familiar.
