I'm assuming Sorcerer but im open to ideas.

What is a "Force" mage? Like Star Wars Jedi stuff? Or force damage? orrr???

[Player#2201]

Wizard (elemental specialist) for specialist school damage bonus + Favored Metamagic bolster + Edge of Force dagger + any rods you want to add.

Does magic missile or force punch benefit from Gold Dragon Mythic spell dice bump?

[Conquista]

nothing benefits from golden dragon mythic spell dice bump, because its still bugged, but future versions of the game might correct that

a mage that specializes in using force damage or effect spells. Magic Missile, Shield, Mage Armor, Battering Blast, etc etc.

straight up arcane bloodline sorc, no chaser

Force spellcasters have a big hurdle to deal with in this game. Many, many of the tougher opponents have the shield spell and it blocks both magic missile and battering blast.

1. Get a level of Loremaster and get the Blade Barrier spell.
2. Get Bane of Spirit ring, now all of your damage spells can be turned into force spells.
3. Play Demon and use the Brimorak aspect paired with the Bound of Possibility for an extra 5 damage per die of a damage-dealing spell.
4. Obviously, bolster-empower-maximize your spells, with or without rods depending on how you want to build.

Oh, I like that idea of using the ring! Wow, ... I bet that would work on Kineticists too. Hmm.
