Yeah, I figured that would probably be the case, but since I've only got the first weak fire spell and also I'd have to give up a shield in my secondary set to equip two spells I'm not sure that tactic is going to be ideal for this build, at least at this point. As an auxiliary setup later on when I have more options it might be worthwhile.

As someone who played a wand-mage my first time through(Though, 1h/wand, 2h, rather than having a shield  ), it's also fairly easy to balance with a spell of one element and an incantation of the other, once you get some of the more flexible incantations.Though yeah, staff-mage is actually kind of disgustingly powerful and the easy ability to alternate fire/lightning is part of the reason why. I still find sword/wand to be more fun to play though.

Definitely the best way to play, especially once I got good at parrying with magic.

As an auxiliary setup later on when I have more options it might be worthwhile. The problem is switching from fire to lightning makes it hard to stay floating in midair. Which you might need to do if you're playing the default configuration. I often will run backwards, jump, aim forwards. Because using both of the sticks at once to run left while aiming right and then still having a finger leftover for x or y is basically impossible for my hands. Unless you swap to dark souls 1-3 style controls in which case you can use l1/l2 or r1/r2 for the spells while aiming backwards behind your back without having to jump. I only realized this would be a problem halfway through the game so I was too used to things to change it up. Often magic is so OP you don't need the storm ring as much as you need to be able to accidentally not fire the wrong way. Staying in midair is quite useful against bosses that have arenas where the staying on the ground can get you killed. P.S. In case this makes no sense, the left stick allows you to move and aim, but if you want to aim backwards you either have to jump and cast magic, thus freezing your movement, or use the right stick to aim while using the left stick to move.
