Mage builds, such as Sorcerer, Mage, or Battlemage, rely heavily on Intelligence for spell points and Willpower for spell effectiveness. Endurance is still important for survivability, as mages typically wear lighter armor. Focus on acquiring a wide range of spells from different schools: Destruction for offense, Restoration for healing, Alteration for utility, and Illusion for crowd control. Races like High Elf or Dark Elf are excellent choices due to their Intelligence bonuses. Mages require careful mana management and often rely on kiting enemies. Enchanted items that boost Intelligence or provide spell resistance are invaluable.
