Best Magic

[Nigrescence]

So I've tried out the spark on top of the sigil of fire to launch a fireball, and that's really strong. But you need to burn a fire stone every time. They're not insanely hard to get, but it's certainly not sustainable for every fight, and they're heavy to carry a bunch.

The flamethrower spell is weak.

The runic magic is really sweet with the mine spell and I unlocked the advanced spells with improved power capstone (instead of cast without book) to make the spells stronger. Very versatile but the need to cast two spells presents a risk in combat whereas the sigil of fire with spark fireball allows you to cast a simple spark and rock and roll.

So the question is this. I haven't seen the other magic yet, but what does everyone think is the best magic? I'm excited to try out the wind magic but I can't get there yet. Now that I have the rune magic I'm going to go through the ghosts to that guy at the wind tower. I haven't gotten to Levant yet, to craft robes from these magic stones I keep farming. So I wonder what kind of magic I can learn there.

So share with me your favorite magics! What should I learn next?
Also I grabbed the Philosopher for the innate .15 mana/sec regen and a few of the chakram spells but I really don't think the chakram is any good from what I've seen. At least I got two useful attack-negation spells from it. But I mainly grabbed it for the passive mana regen. That means I only have one left I can max out.

Nobody?

I mean, Magic stones are pretty easy to get, and so is THICC oil, so i dont see how getting fire stones are difficult.

I use lightning bolt from rune magic and that can basically kill anything in 2 hits.

Right. I covered that they're not too hard to get. The main drawback with them is that they're heavy if you want a decent supply. The way I've been playing so far, they seem to be perfect to pull out for a tough fight where you want to be mobile, where two spell casts could be trouble. And extremely powerful so perhaps boss fights. Or whatever you want to consider a "boss" in this game.

I think if they improved their range dramatically (almost as much as bows) then chakram would be more viable.

Ummm, they are. You can get some in the first dungeon. And in the Magic Mountain. You can mine em, or sometimes the enemy will drop them, sometimes they'll even drop magic stones that will give you a bunch if you deconstruct.
Thick Oil you can get from enemies, junk piles, or by mining iron veins, in multiple caves.

I'm sorry you're mad, but it's really not that hard.

Personally, i've only ever needed 10 or so Fire stones at any time. Also, reconsider Flamethrower, it doesnt do much damage, but it has Damage over Time, which is god tier if you have enough stamina to block.

I don't know if they are or aren't I have a lot but no need for them so I don't know how fast I'd go through them, my only point was good post.

If you have the backpack, make sure not to carry things you dont need. Always take the essentials. Food, light, wood (for campfires), bedroll (for sleep), anything else is dumpable/sellable/storable.

I've actually got the backpack you can craft from two scale leather and the starter pack. It holds 60 and doesn't slow your in combat rolling.
You make a point about only taking essentials. I disagree about taking wood though. There's wood everywhere and it's easy to get. You just have to punch a tree. Though I keep a habit of carrying one firewood kit at all times just in case I need to drop one in a dungeon.
Thing is I also take a cooking pot and an alchemist kit. I consider them essential and they've come in handy quite a bit. I just wish there were a lighter weight version of them somewhere.

I need to stop over-carrying junk and just get rid of everything I could not literally use right away.

with wich magic can you combine spark to do better spells?

Spark can be used in conjunction with the spell Reveal Soul on any fallen Humanoid.
Basically, you use Reveal Soul near a dead human and a blue orb of light appears, then use Spark to gain some Mana back.

I chose Fire Sigil by mistake.. is there any way I can also get reveal soul further in the game from another npc?

Is that how that works? You kill someone and literally rip out their soul in order to power your mana? Damn...

nah it's fine, top left of the first map is some cabal wind alter, near there is a shaman trainer who teaches reveal soul without needing a breakthrough. you will need to go through the fort "ghost pass" and there are a few ghosts in there but at the start there are some etherial vanishes.
