What increases the damage of the magic?

[{[|||RUS|||]}Res.Centralnui]

Guys, what makes the magic more powerfull? Intelligence? Faith? I've got 24 of intelligence and 18 of faith and still feel myself so weak. Any tips about this?

Upgrade your staff/talisman.

Int for sorc spells
Faith for Miracles

There are also rings and armor that can increase your damage that you can get before you even get to Catacombs.

Well, I did, but still don't feel myself strong enough. I'm 50 level and still it's hard to fight to just any kind of boss, even other creatures, especially when it's more than one ot two up to me.

For a caster build id say get alot of :
Int for sorceries
Faith for miracles
And both for pyromancy.

But another thing to concider is getting alot of dexterity aswell becouse it increases your casting speed.
You can also reinforce your:
Staff for sorceries
Chimes/Talismans for miracles
Pyromancy flame for pyromancies (Can be done at pyro npc)

you cant go full magic...you will feel very weak. However you need to go melee spellsword build...
1, get a low requirment high base damage wep buff it with magic you will get around 500AR

Magic is dissappointing here. If I knew it before I start, I rather take a warrior. Most of items I have found are for warriors...damn, even my current armory is a warrior armory cuz it's actually better than any I've found.

And spells...not many of them really good, those mass spells worthless. I actually use just a few. I don't know if the things will change further, but I hope I will finally feel some joy of playing the game.
