Since I haven't seen any proper guide covering this topic in english, I made it myself :P

Quality response. It's more than obvious that you two are buddies, so arguing with either of you is pointless. Go touch each other's weeners or whatever you do.

This claim is as petty as you yourself are. We're not buddies. Don't make up bullcrap as an excuse for your inability of sentence forming.

nice guide mate!

Thanks, very good guide

Can someone explain me what is his point? I think I understood the part about the golem part and the last part(I think I did)
Single Golem can easily keep killing seekers until the Golem's time runs out and he dies, so that's about 10-12 Seekers.
How is Pure Mage tedious? You literally do everything that you normally do on other playthroghs, just that you skip fights which should make it even less tedious.
Skipping other skills is for the sake of the "Mage" part in the title. Besides you don't skip any large or smaller parts of the game by not learning other things. You don't use other combat skills because that's the point of the challange.
And the hunting/thieving skills do not fit the character of a mage, nor do you really need them. What are you talking about?
The rest of this I couldn't understand...

To become a citizen you need to fulfill a quest from every master. Tell me, how are you supposed to get the 6 wolf skins or orc weapon without melee or fighting with swords? Without removing fur you can't ask Bartok to go to the woods with you and farm the orc and animals there. And you'll need like 6 fireball scrolls to kill one orc warrior and to cast those you need 30 mana. Spending 6 fireball scrolls on an orc is stupid since those can easily be killed with melee. Yes, there is an orcish weapon in a cave outside of Khorinis, but there are small animal mobs in front of it, which are so weak that its bordering r tarded to use scrolls on them. Also if you tell me "Oh I'll run to the other end of the map to get those 6 Wolf skins" that's literally skipping a ton of the game just to finish a quest that should be limited to the city and first zone in the game. So, yes. Pure mage is dumb. And without forging or skinning you can't make any money as an apprentice since the last thing you want to do is give the mushrooms to Constantino. So, you can't even make the claim that playing solely as a mage without leveling any secondary skill isnt tedious and makes the game feel more exhausting.
I'm saying that A GOLEM CAN'T KILL MORE THAN 2 SEEKERS AT ONCE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MAGIC RESISTANCE AND SEEKERS MELT THEM WITH THEIR SPELLS. At least that's my experience with golems. Also you learn to summon golem before you leave to fight the dragons. You will have already killed the majority of the Seekers by running around the island fulfilling the new quests unless you skip vast amounts of the game to rush the story to get better spells. So, again, pointless spell.
If you can't understand this, I'm sorry, but you might want invest a few LP into English.

"To become a citizen you need to fulfill a quest from every master. Tell me, how are you supposed to get the 6 wolf skins or orc weapon without melee or fighting with swords?"

Well there are 7 wolf furs that u can find in chapter 1, fighting skills are not mandatory since u need 34 dex(u need around that amount in order to steal mana potion from Milten in chapter 2 with collectible items), pickpocketing, lockpicking.

U dont need Bartok's help at all to clear that forest. Goblins will be a problem but u can clear that on lvl 1.

Bigger mushrooms are worth alot, just drop magical mushrooms and leave "diggers meat" in backpack.

I do however agree with golem, summon goblin skeleton is enough to kill a dragon with ice wave.

oh its a "challenge" nvm then

Zombies should be good as well, you get them as Beliar Rune. Golems should be left for larger Seeker groups.

Also, you don't need ALL masters votes. You can leave one out, which for me is usually Bosper. But if you are really determined to get all of them you can find some skins in hunter's tents.

Storm (or however its called in english version) is a good spell to kill plenty of enemies at once. That one from circle 3 which you can learn from water mages, it's like weaker version of fire rain but still very good

It's actually NOT very good, this spell is a trap.
It devours 100 mana for 250 damage (which is a lot). It has smaller range than other AoE spells, you can't really kill orcs with it unless you cast it 3-4 times and waste 300-400 mana, and it takes way too long to cast.
Small Fire Storm does this job better in my opinion. You can lure a whole forest into chasing you, then kill everything with 1-2 shots, casts super fast and costs mere 25 mana. Quicker, efficient, better.
You may however try using Storm if you find them as scrolls, as these costs 5 mana to cast.

It have alot of range if you move with it, especially with speed potion. I cleared valley of mines with it easly. It covers alot of area, unlike small fire storm which can hurt multiple enemies only if they are close to each other. Also it can kill enemies who are behind walls, for example seekers in Sekob's house
It takes so mana, but by the time you got circle 3 of magic, you also have unlimited access to Samuel's hasty herring so you can run to bed to for mana regeneration...

It's still pretty slow ineffective and mana consuming spell, other spells do it better )
