Magic Burst, Frost Nova, Inferno, and Thunder Bolt.

Thunder Bolt isn't released.

Frost Nova and Inferno are first achieved at levels 60 and 67 respectively.

On to the build. Statistically, according to Microsoft Excel, you would require 600 damage per hit in order to allow the 25 points invested into SPR to begin exceed full INT in a build of the same level. However, you will not see this for quite a while. Level 79s are still not doing 600 per hit.

Therefore, I suggest full INT. Empowering Magic Burst isn't necessary, seeing as it's a "filler" spell similar to Magic Missile 1. However, I suggest empowering Inferno with 5 points in cooldown - it knocks off some 10 seconds off the cooldown, which is handy.

Other empowerments:

Magic Blast - 5 damage.
Fire Ball - 5 damage.

That's it. Maybe 5 points into cooldown for Chain Casting. But that's in the distant future, no need to worry about it now.

This style emphasizes heavy damage and moderate SP consumption. Best used with full INT. And it's just a suggestion, not rules to live by.
