Demon’s Souls: Recommended early stats leveling path for Magician class

demons-souls

I'm about 10 hours into Demon's Souls with a Magician class character. I've defeated Phalanx and have started on the leveling path.

Can anyone recommend the most useful early stats leveling path for the Magician class?

For example, should I add points evenly into VIT, INT, END and MAG? Or should I put all (or most) of my points into MAG?

While I cannot say I have hands on experience with the Magician class (other than trying it out for a bit), several recommended builds suggest that what you really want to up, at least in the long run, is MAG.

Of course, this is not what you wanted to know, but I did find this quote from a discussion regarding the possibility of playing a pure magic user (some spoilers if you don't want to know advanced spell names):

Speaking as a pure mage with maxed out MAG and endgame magic EQ: it's completely possible.

You will encounter a lot of difficulties during your first playthrough. But you can't just endlessly pump points into MAG, sometimes you have to deviate. Dont hesitate putting points into HP or Endurance (for armor).

At around level 180~, you will see that the game basically play itself with Moving Soul Arrows, and Firestorm.
