Answer:

He spent 20,000 points on the castle and 12,000 points on the spell.

Explanation:

It says that he spent 5/8 points on the castle

32000/1 x 5/8 = 20,000

We got our points for the castle. Now we need to find how many points for the spells, which is the remaining. 32000-20,000=12,000

This means that 20,000 points are used on the castle and 12,000 on the spell.
