Pure magic power

The Pure Magic build focuses solely on Magic. Do not put any points into the uncessary Faith stat. Furthermore, if increasing Vitality seems like a waste in the beginning, you can begin adding points to Magic to increase attack power instead.

Using the Pure Magic Build

Avoid enemies attacks

The Pure Magic build is very fragile in nature. Therefore, it is critical to avoid enemy attacks. Ideally, this build will not use a shield, so dodging is the only option. When fighting, create some distance and aim to not get hit by attacks.

Use equipment to raise Magic power

The Pure Magic build is a glass cannon, but its attack can be improved even further with the Kris Blade and the Yellow Monk's Collar. Kris Blade is particularly important for beating the game.
