If you prefer to keep your distance and unleash devastating spells, a magic-focused build is for you. This build prioritizes Intelligence and Mind, maximizing magical damage and reducing incoming spell damage. MP regeneration becomes crucial here. Recommended Glyphs include:

- Ignis: A basic but effective fire projectile.
- Pneuma: A wind projectile that can pierce multiple enemies.
- Globus: A slow but powerful energy orb.
- Grando: An ice shard Glyph, good for freezing enemies.
- Fulgur: A lightning bolt Glyph, excellent for hitting multiple targets.
- Nitesco: A powerful laser Glyph, consumes a lot of MP but deals immense damage.
Equip accessories that boost Intelligence, MP, or MP regeneration. The Heart Cuirass armor is excellent for MP regeneration. This build is fantastic for clearing rooms of enemies from a safe distance and can exploit elemental weaknesses of bosses. Managing your MP effectively is the key to success with a magic-focused Shanoa, so consider Glyphs that have a good damage-to-MP cost ratio.
