Soul's Remnant Magic Build — INT Caster Guide
The highest damage ceiling in Soul's Remnant: INT stats, Magic Burst, Nova, Soul Bomb and Flamethrower for AoE and burst.
Updated Aug 14, 2026
Why play magic?
Magic has the highest damage ceiling in Soul's Remnant. INT spells melt grouped enemies and shred bosses in seconds — but the early levels are fragile, and solo Magic is rough until you out-scale the content. Best in trios with Melee + Faith.
Stat split
Put most of your points into INT for magic damage and magic attack speed, with the standard 25–30% in CON to survive. One launch-day player hit magic mastery 30 within hours by focusing the line and farming high-density spots (player report).
Core skills
- Magic Burst — your basic spell; it also converts range and faith damage into magic bonuses as it levels (official wiki).
- Nova — area damage for grouped enemies.
- Soul Bomb — single-target burst.
- Flamethrower — sustained damage that scales with magic mastery.
- Blink — movement and repositioning; mandatory on every build.
The build snowballs as you invest in the magic line, since Soul Bomb and Flamethrower both scale with magic mastery.
Gear priorities
Magic damage and magic attack speed are the mage's icon stats. Crafted or dungeon gear with those rolls beats raw level, and echoes let you stack more magic damage on every slot. Watch for gear with upgrade slots, since gems add another layer on top of echoes.
Solo vs group
- Solo viability: 6.5/10. Fragile early, dominant once geared.
- Group viability: 9/10. The fastest boss-killer in parties.
