How to build main character? + other questions

[arcainic]

Is the int stat gimped, it takes like 3 points for 1 magic damage, and since magic is slow casting, is it worth it to pump magic damage items and int on telle and vincint?

I've been told that you should build the main character as a mage, but every int i put in vincint boost his total mana pool by 3 max. And it takes 3 to boost 1 magic damage, while only 1 point of str do give 2 points of physical damage.

What gives? should i only pump int on telle to boost her total mana pool?

What to do about the mana problem on vincint?

thanks!
