Mage question

[Ryuuhei]

Ok, i just started and dont wanna screw up my mage the first thing i do, and i found out theres either (pure int) or (25spirit,rest int) ?

ok now my question is, yea its probly better with 25 spirit cuz in higher lvls the dmg from 25 int isnt really that much since u do alooot anyway, but the spirit.. adds crit =) and thats still alot even when ur high, so my question is.. if the skills add such great damage anyway, why even bother putting int at all? and just go with pure spirit? u will crit alot more right? why just 25?

and i also need to know extremly much what i should empower the or enchant i dont even know what its called, but the points u can add to a skill, which should i do on what? =D

Please write ur opinions as a list =] and i know i sound lame for asking too much =D but i really enjoy playing following a great guide.

Thanks all!
